CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL SUPPLY CHAIN PROCESS ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION

This paper provides a systematic approach for the analysis and design of construction supply chain operation models. Based on the Supply Chain Operations Reference Model of the Supply Chain Council, this research studies supply and demand behavior, using a bridge superstructure construction process as a case study. This paper uses the SCOR Model and applies Dynamic Simulation software, namely, SIMPROCESS, to assist in establishing a hierarchical model to explore the behavior of the construction supply chain process and develop a performance evaluation method that can help improve the supply chain management (SCM) of the construction project.
