Abstract

A construction supply chain is a network that performs functions of procurement, transformation, and installation of components in a project. The supply chain significantly affects a construction project based on its ability to deliver in a timely and efficient manner. Recently, supply chain management (SCM) has received a lot of attention in the construction industry. The project entitled “Integrated Supply Chain Information Systems,” ISCIS, addressed the problem of information transparency in the construction supply chain. Web service integration technology and building information models (BIM) were applied to enable real-time information sharing.
