Survey of Civil Construction Execution by Supply Chain Management

Abstract

Supply chain management (SCM) in construction is a critical discipline that focuses on the effective coordination and integration of various stakeholders, processes, and resources involved in construction projects. It encompasses the planning, sourcing, procurement, logistics, and distribution of materials, equipment, and services throughout the construction lifecycle. The goal of SCM in construction is to optimize project performance, minimize costs, improve quality, and enhance overall efficiency. The construction industry faces unique challenges in managing its supply chain due to the complexity of projects, diverse stakeholders, and the dynamic nature of construction environments. Effective SCM practices in construction involve strategic decision-making, collaboration, and the utilization of information systems and technologies.
