An overall review of research on prefabricated construction supply chain management

Purpose As a strand in industrialization movement architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, prefabricated (PC) has gained widespread popularity due to high efficiency, energy saving, low environmental impacts, safety other advantages of PC. Well-managed supply chain can further leverage the However, there is lack more systematically overview (PCSC). This paper aims comb current status look into future direction PCSC by reviewing existing research. Design/methodology/approach In total, 131 articles related management (PCSCM) from 2000 2022 have been collated (1) conduct bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer, including literature sources, keywords co-occurrence, co-authorships, authorship citation country active field PCSCM; (2) classify summarize research PCSCM through qualitative discussion (3) point out directions. Findings are carried for in-depth discussion, visualization maps main themes obtained. The results show that intelligentization informatization hot topics. Finally, directions should be paid attention pointed out. Practical implications study help project managers understand problems operations provide basis decisions. Originality/value Compared with previous studies, this adds dimension “article authorship” quantitative discusses comprehensive manner. addition, deeply topics both specific contents methods adopted.
