Abstract

Although offsite construction (OSC) has emerged as a promising solution to low productivity issues in the construction industry, knowledge for effective management of OSC projects is yet to be explored and developed further. To enhance our understanding of the landscape of the current OSC management knowledge, this study identified and reviewed 83 operation-level OSC management papers. By mapping the papers on three dimensions (i.e. OSC project type, project phase, and management area), this review sheds light on the knowledge areas addressed more frequently than the other areas over time in a detailed manner. The review also shows that papers on planning, manufacturing, maintenance phases and schedule, resources, and stakeholder management areas have a relatively large number of citations, implying a great interest in these research areas. Finally, the review discusses that substantial research work is still required in the areas of OSC execution strategy, emerging technologies in offsite manufacturing and schedule management, internet of things (IoT)-based material logistics planning and tracking, building information model-based visualization and decision support, and social and environmental effects of stakeholder engagement in OSC projects.

在未来建设中提高生产力：掌握知识并寻求见识，以实现成功的异地建设项目

摘要

尽管非现场施工（OSC）已经成为解决建筑行业生产率低下问题的一种有前途的解决方案，但有效管理OSC项目的知识仍有待进一步探索和发展。为了增强我们对当前OSC管理知识的了解，本研究确定并审查了83篇操作级别的OSC管理论文。通过在三个维度（即OSC项目类型，项目阶段和管理区域）上对论文进行映射，该审查揭示了随着时间的推移，与其他领域相比，详细领域所涉及的知识领域更加频繁。审查还显示，有关计划，制造，维护阶段和时间表，资源以及利益相关者管理领域的论文被引用的次数相对较多，这意味着对这些研究领域的兴趣很大。
