Construction Enterprise Supply Chain Design Research

Abstract

The introduction of the thought of supply chain management into the construction industry can improve the competitiveness of enterprises. Based on the integration of both the effect of the supply chain as well as supply chain management and the actual situation, this paper analyzed the necessity of the construction and implementation of supply chain management of the construction enterprise. Compared with the supply chain of manufacturing industry, we found it feasible to implement supply chain management in the construction industry and analyzed the obstacles in it. Finally, it pointed out that the clustering of construction materials, information technology, business process reengineering, outsourcing of projects logistics and so on were the basis of constructing supply chain management of the construction enterprise, and accordingly the joint-design supply chain model of the project cost-oriented and the responsiveness-oriented was established.

An Evaluation of Supply Chain Performance of China’s Prefabricated Building from the Perspective of Sustainability

“…In recent years, China's construction industry has been developing by leaps and bounds, which drives related industries such as cement, steel, and machinery manufacturing. Frankly, large-scale construction has brought considerable economic and social benefits, but at the same time, problems are caused, namely huge energy consumption and environmental pollution [1]. As a result, the sustainable construction industry emphasizes to create and keep a healthy building environment on the premise of resources efficiency and ecological protection.…”
