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...

AbstractThe interest in the implementation of distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) is on rise construction sector. One specific type DLT that has recently attracted much attention i...

In this paper, we show how sustainable supply chains can be transformed into and studied as transportation networks. Specifically, we develop a new supply chain model in which the manufacturers can produce the homogeneous product in different manufacturing plants with associated distinct environmental emissions. We assume that the manufacturers, the retailers with which they transact, as well a...

The initiative of implementing Internet-based solutions for the integration of the supply chain of materials will not succeed if there is not assurance of collaboration and communication among the parties in the construction business. Neither EDI nor web-based supply chain applications can facilitate both the process integration and flexibility required by the construction processes practiced t...
