“…It was discovered that there were still large levels of waste and problems caused by discrete controls of each cluster, without indispensable communication. Thus, this research extends the work conducted by Moon (2014) and Moon et al (2015) to cover the complex nature in the information network of the construction supply chain.…”

“…The need for an effective communication method requires the introduction of network science (NS), which aims to understand the complicated supply chain network by identifying critical core players on organisational boundaries. Supply-chain information network (SCIN) extends the dynamic quality control (DQC) model (Moon, 2014; Moon et al, 2015) to integrate the core link along the interactions of the players. As SCIN relies on the amount of credible information, construction technology is required to build up an agile communication backbone in terms of writing, storing, acquiring and sharing the critical information with involved players.…”

Construction projects require the generation and communication of an ever-larger amount of information. Unfortunately, present project organisations do not foster proactive approaches to preventing costly production waste derived from communication problems. To address this, the effective exchange of information needs to be performed across all different parties, as the construction project commonly includes concurrent progresses along its supply chain. This article proposes a new concept that integrates feed-forward control with the principle of network science. Referred to as supply-chain information network, it aims to comprehend the correlations within a sequenced supply chain network, in order to identify the critical communication links supporting a preventive control. Its effectiveness was verified by applying the model to an actual case: the rebar supply chain from a multi-story building in Sydney, NSW, Australia. The analysis recognised four problematical players in the supply chain: (1) rebar factory linemen, (2) radio crew, (3) senior steel fixers and (4) steel fixers, based on four centrality measurements. Consequently, the experimental data confirm the hypothesis that proactive management of the supply chain will produce drastic improvements, achieving up to 23.3% reduction in waste time during placement. The relevance of this research lies in the operational introduction of network science to the construction supply chain, and its proactive culture resulted in significant improvements of process performance. In addition, the developed communication backbone suggests an actualised test bed of concurrent information exchanges that tried to escape the spatiotemporal limitation in a chained attribute in the construction industry.

“…EAT, as a series of innovative management technologies that promotes the transformation of prefabricated construction from traditional, outdated and inefficient to advanced, intelligent and efficient, has attracted widespread attention in recent years. This widespread concern can be primarily explained by the inherent advantages of these technologies, including, but not limited to, achieving the real-time visibility and traceability of prefabricated components [10][11][12][13][14], low building energy consumption [15][16][17], reduced schedule risk [1,18,19], time-and cost-saving, efficiency improvement [2,[20][21][22], quality control improvement [7,23,24], accelerated lean construction [25], informatisation and intelligence of management [11,13,22,26,27], low pollution, compliance with sustainability standards [28,29], high safety and health standards [30,31] and integrated and improved supply chain management [18,23,[32][33][34][35][36].…”

Emerging advanced technologies (EAT) have been regarded as significant technological innovations which can greatly improve the transforming construction industry. Given that research on EAT related to the management of prefabricated construction (MPC) has not yet been conducted, various researchers require a state-of-the-art summary of EAT research and implementation in the MPC field. The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic literature review by analysing the selected 526 related publications in peer-reviewed leading journals during 2009–2020. Through a thorough review of selected papers from the state-of-the-art academic journals in the construction industry, EAT is recognised as the key area affecting the development of the MPC discipline. This study has value in offering original insights to summarise the advanced status quo of this field, helping subsequent researchers gain an in-depth understanding of the underlying structure of this field and allowing them to continue future research directions.

“…The percentage involved 871 million tons of waste was managed in CSC through planning, designing, storage and transport for component assembly. In addition, Moon et al (2015) indicate that almost 45.5% of the total construction process waste including field experiments at the site of construction industrial organisation in New South Wales, Australia got a drastic increase, of which 31.5% of productive time was severely affected; construction workers were lack of competent due to inadequate process planning and simulation on CSC quality management in the construction industry. To address this issue, efficient supply chain management system technology is needed to gather several methodologies of required assessment information from the production phase of PC buildings.…”

Purpose While the adversarial nature of precast concrete (PC) building construction is frequently cited in the PC building construction press, only a few researchers have investigated construction supply chain management within the construction industry. Due to the interdisciplinary transportation environment, which inevitably results in disruption, the uses of construction supply chain and recovery from construction supply chain risk must be a subject of real interest, yet transportation management research in this area is scarce. Design/methodology/approach The purpose of this study is to discuss the weakness in system approaches and their application for managing precast concrete building in the context of construction supply chain practice and how to overcome it. As a precursor to this paper, the paper reviews current construction supply chain management occurrence on PC building construction and explores the hybrid intelligent vehicle tools and techniques currently being used on such management. This paper also presents the new hybrid intelligent vehicle-based approach to manage construction supply chain risk and reduce associated tension on PC building construction schemes. Findings The findings reveal the need for more sophisticated construction supply chain management solutions which accord with the needs of PC building construction schemes. Originality/value The paper concludes by presenting a research framework for developing such a system in the future.
