Abstract
The scientific literature has addressed supply chain management (SCM) in great detail, particularly with regard to enhancing business performance. The use of SCM techniques is seen to be beneficial in obtaining improved competitiveness of construction enterprises and the construction sector as a whole, as the construction industry is a major social and economic activity in every nation. Construction is a global industry with many unique features that involves a wide range of projects with radically varying scopes, scales, and levels of complexity. The reality in the construction industry is very different from what the literature suggests, despite the fact that generic supply chains should be straightforward and linear. Any construction firm that provides a solution to a client or end user must integrate a variety of construction supply chains and markets. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate previous research and summarize key methodologies and findings in order to guide future supply chain research in the construction industry. Using the ProQuest database, this review specifically aims to screen published studies for the following aspects: a) level of analysis; b) research focus; c) type of study/paper; d) sample used; e) analyzed relationships; and f) the various construction subjects covered and linked into supply chains.
