There are many problems in construction process, such as fragmentation, budget overrun, time overrun and high waste, most of which are supply chain problems and often caused by the lack of coordination and information sharing across organizations in the supply chains. Supply chain coordination (SCC) is a critical success factor for the application of supply chain management to effectively impro...

Construction supply-chain management offers new approaches to reduce the cost of and increase the reliability and speed of facility construction. Supply-chain management takes a systems view of the production activities of autonomous production units (subcontractors and suppliers in construction) and seeks global optimization of these activities. Applications of supply-chain management techniqu...

The concept of construction supply chain (CSC) is defined firstly. Then the authors depict a typical construction supply chain model from the perspectives of partners involved in construction process, analyze the characteristics and attributes of CSC, and identify some problems in CSC. Based-on the definition and principles of supply chain management (SCM), the concept of construction supply ch...

Since the middle of the 1990’s, the researchers and people within the construction industry have moved towards Supply Chain Management (SCM) philosophy in order to make construction industry more effective and more efficient. The main driver behind the adoption of this philosophy was the successes within other industry sectors. SCM can be defined as network of different organisations, linked up...

Supply chain coordination has become a critical success factor and effectively improved the performance of organizations in various industries. The construction industry in general is characterized with high fragmentation, low productivity, cost and time overruns, and conflicts. The application of supply chain management in construction industry may provide a new solution for resolving these pr...

Abstract Studies related to construction supply chain management (CSCM) emerged in the mid-1990s address structural, economic and organizational nature typical of industry. Previous researches sought review literature on CSCM, however, they usually focused specific well-defined issues. This article aimed map current areas subareas CSCM. Adopting a bibliometric approach following PRISMA-ScR reco...
