Abstract

The construction industry is a key sector of every country and the application of supply chain-related techniques holds much promise to improve performance of construction firms in many ways. According to an extended view, which encompasses the construction of industrial and residential buildings, of civil engineering and infrastructure projects, there is a number of major actors that must be coordinated in some way to reach ETO decisions, leading to performance outcomes and metrics. The need to co-ordinate information across the supply chain is a persistent and pressing challenge for ETO companies. Procurement helps to establish the conditions for the supply chain to function effectively. New technologies such as product configurators or cloud manufacturing are being applied. Planning and decision making is a critical driver. In the future, the challenges of applying supply chain management techniques to a construction environment, will require more quantitative studies, to cast light on some potential gains from better information management and use of digital technologies. Then there is also an opportunity to integrate clear upfront planning and procurement with the project delivery processes, and choose the right configurations, focus and relational types. Finally, there is much potential to harness the innovation potential of SMEs.

摘要

建筑业是每个国家的关键部门，供应链相关技术的应用有望在许多方面提高建筑公司的绩效。根据包括工业和住宅建筑、土木工程和基础设施项目的建设在内的扩展观点，必须以某种方式协调许多主要参与者才能做出 ETO 决策，从而产生绩效结果和指标。对于 ETO 公司来说，协调整个供应链中的信息是一项持久而紧迫的挑战。采购有助于为供应链的有效运作创造条件。产品配置器或云制造等新技术正在被应用。计划和决策是一个关键驱动因素。在将来，将供应链管理技术应用于建筑环境的挑战将需要更多的定量研究，以揭示更好的信息管理和使用数字技术带来的一些潜在收益。然后还有机会将清晰的前期规划和采购与项目交付流程相结合，并选择正确的配置、重点和关系类型。最后，利用中小企业的创新潜力有很大的潜力。并选择正确的配置、重点和关系类型。最后，利用中小企业的创新潜力有很大的潜力。并选择正确的配置、重点和关系类型。最后，利用中小企业的创新潜力有很大的潜力。
