Mounting emphasis on construction supply chain management (CSCM) is
due to both global sourcing of materials and a shortage of labor.
These factors force increasing amounts of value-added work to be
conducted off-site deep in the supply chain. Construction Supply
Chain Management Handbook compiles in one comprehensive source an
overview of the diverse research and examples of construction
supply chain practice around the world. Reflecting the emergence of
CSCM as an important area of multi-national research and practice,
this volume takes an interdisciplinary perspective with
contributions from leading international authors in three major
areas: production and operations analysis, organizational
perspectives, and information technology. The book begins with a
survey of the current literature on modeling construction supply
chain production and describes a set of approaches and methods for
designing and operating project supply chains with references to
design and materials production. It provides the basic framework
for understanding the challenges and approaches to representing and
improving supply chain performance. The next section recognizes the
importance of considering arrangements between the different firms
involved in designing, procuring, and assembling construction, and
reviews various perspectives to understanding and improving
organizational issues in the supply chain. The final section
provides an overview of a range of information technologies that
can contribute to supply chain performance, as well as examples of
effective use. The organization and sourcing of materials is
increasingly complex across the global construction industry.
Construction clients are demanding faster, more responsive
construction processes and higher quality facilities. This volume
provides an invaluable resource to understanding the implications
of supply chain management, which is sure to result in more
effective construction project execution.
