“…Delays may result in prolonged construction cycles and higher labour costs. But early delivery can also lead to additional storage costs and wasted space [99]. Based on the cost target, resource constraints such as molds [100], workers, inventory [101], and workspace [102] were integrated into the model to develop the production scheduling scheme with the lowest production cost.…”

Prefabricated construction (PC), with the characteristics of green, environmentally friendly, energy saving and high production efficiency, is attracting more and more attention from all over the world. Supply chain management is closely related to the application efficiency of PC, but only in the last three years has this interdisciplinary research received due attention. The prefabricated construction supply chain management (PCSCM) have not received enough attention. Especially recently, the related literature shows explosive growth. This paper adopted the method of systematic literature review through the tool of bibliometric statistics. And we reviewed 152 articles from 2001 to 2018, with the goal of understanding the current situation, trends, and gaps in PCSCM research, and a framework is proposed to promote its development. First, the study discussed the four themes of clustering, concentrating mainly on strategic research and project evaluation, PC supply chain process design and optimization, supply chain integration and management, and the application of advanced technology. Then, the research gaps and conceptual development framework to promote PCSCM were reported. Only through the coordinated development of technology, market circumstances, and decision-making level of participants, can the PCSC form an integrated whole, so as to optimize the efficiency and sustainability of prefabricated construction industry and improve its level.

“…For instance, in the prefabricated public housing projects in Hong Kong, real time information from RFID and GPS is connected with BIM in the developed Internet-of-Things (IOT) enabled platform. This integration enabled stakeholders to gain access to the physical building information, monitor the whole process, and make decisions collaboratively when necessary (Li et al, 2018).…”

The New Zealand construction industry continues to face pressures to improve productivity and lower construction costs. With the need to build more houses and infrastructure, quicker, to high quality and on time, there is a need to upscale the use of advanced technologies. Going digital is a solution that can transform the construction industry by improving productivity measures. The objectives of this paper are to: 1 Identify the availability of transformative technologies and their potential impact on productivity improvement across the construction life cycle and, 2. To investigate the benefits and barriers to technology-uptake in New Zealand construction. This paper is a review of digital technologies which analyzes their impact on productivity across the construction life cycle. As a basis for analysis, the digital technologies are isolated into three key productivity improvement functions: (1) Ubiquitous Digital Access, (2) Whole Building Whole-of-Life (WBWOL) decision making, and (3) Cost Reduction Engineering. This study is a literature-based theoretical exploration, aimed at signifying digitization as a function of productivity performance in the New Zealand construction industry. From a practical perspective, clients and contractors may be convinced to invest in digital technologies, increasing or accelerating uptake and more fully realizing the benefits digital technologies could add to productivity performance, growth and long-term success. This study may provide useful information for researchers regarding the development of case studies by analyzing organizations that implement technological innovations, their successful actions/processes, barriers overcoming actions, and sources of new ideas.

“…At present, domestic and foreign scholars have little research on the application of BIM and RFID technologies in the information management of prefabricated building components. Most of them have only established the system framework integrating BIM and RFID technologies, and rarely systematically integrate the actual effective information of prefabricated components and present it to managers in a visual form [12][13][14][15]. With the advent of the era of big data, this study has important theoretical significance for promoting project management informatization and building industrialization.…”

In view of the problems such as the basic properties, usage, and location of prefabricated concrete building components, which are easy to be omitted, missed, and difficult to query in the field management, this study introduces building information modeling (BIM) and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to visualize the state information of prefabricated concrete components, such as component type, manufacturer, location, and temperature. In the design stage, a new RFID family can be built in the actual model in order to solve the lack of definition of RFID family through the Industry Foundation Class (IFC) standard, and the databases of BIM and RFID can be connected with C# language, realizing the effective integration of the two engineering technologies. In the application stage, through the secondary development of Revit, the information connection between PC terminal and RFID equipment is completed, and the component data collected by RFID tags are transmitted to the BIM model to realize the integration and visualization of prefabricated component state information. In this study, the traceability of prefabricated components of prefabricated concrete buildings can be improved, providing a basis for quality responsibility tracking in the later period, reducing unnecessary waste of human and material resources and helping to maximize economic benefits.
