Abstract
During the last decade the role of technology in supporting the project
execution and management has increased. However, the real impacts to supply
chain have not been considered. This paper introduces a study utilising 4D
technology for supply chain management. We explore how the interactive 4D
application can be used for testing alternative supply chain scenarios. We
describe experienced challenges when developing 4DLive Linker environment,
which enables simulations of multiple scenarios in large construction
projects. We demonstrate the research approach in a residential housing case
that has two supply chain alterations. Our experiences show that decision
making benefits from interactive environment. The end result enhances
existing 4D applications to direction where alternative plans can be easily
incorporated into applications, studied further interactively and presented
in a communicative manner for decision making and construction site training.
