This document investigates supply chain management in construction companies in Tamilnadu, India. It discusses how supply chain management can help address problems that negatively impact construction projects, such as delays in receiving materials and payments. The document reports on a survey of 50 construction companies that asked about factors affecting supply chain management. The key factors included delays in receiving project sites from owners, late payments from clients, late material procurement from manufacturers, replacement of key personnel by consultants, and poor coordination between contractors and other parties. The document proposes techniques for addressing these problems, such as using tracking systems, delay time modeling, and project scheduling software.
The introduction gives a brief outline of research in the field of CSCM and its current status. This is followed by a review of literature focused on supply chain performance for process-based industry, project-based industry and project-based construction industry to highlight critical questions that elude managers of CSCM for representing, analysing and configuring supply chains.
The research methodology adopted in this study is applying qualitative approach of triangulation involving foundational research and Soft Systems Methodology for validating a system of complex CSC. The study explores important phases of CSC, major problems, complexities and linkages.
The concurrent viewpoints about various dimensions of CSCM have been put forth in this study in terms of several characteristics in order to provide a constitutional definition. The basic argument is to evolve a balanced normative theory that can deal explicitly both with the contents and contexts of the system and can reorient professionals towards dealing with the system more effectively to attain the socio-economic goals of the emerging era of competition and collaboration.

Construction is required to create attractive, sustainable and economically viable cities. Inner city developments are a common feature within many urban areas. When activities at and around construction sites are not managed effectively, they can negatively impact the surrounding areas. A large share of the freight traffic in cities is related to construction. Evaluation of recent urban construction projects introducing logistics concepts by construction companies shows that implementing alternative city logistics concepts can significantly reduce total logistic costs, urban congestion and improve productivity. The ‘ground rules’ for smarter and cleaner construction logistics in urban areas are set during the tendering process. This research has developed a framework for ‘logistics quality’ to be used as a quality criterion for EMAT (Economically Most Advantageous Tender) procedures to support tendering construction projects by both public and private clients.
Current Trends in Product Development during COVID-19vivatechijri
This paper will summarize the authors´ experience over the last decades, from new methods developed
and used within Product Development, as well as current trends. Hence, a general and broad overview is
presented, rather than recent research results. Driving forces in PD are: Technology, Market and Society.
Ecological, economic and social sustainability require recycling, reuse, energy conservation and new business
concepts. Customization is carried out by modular architecture, combining customer specific products with
volume production of components and sub-systems. PD integrates “hard” properties (engineering), with “soft”
properties (industrial design). Fundamental PD characteristics are: Iteration, Integration (technical and
organizational), and Innovation. Globally distributed industrial partners co-operate using Internet. Iteration:
modeling/simulation, virtual prototyping and additive manufacturing speed up process loops. Structured PD:
Initial specification of “what” – functional requirements, then “how” - generation of design solutions.
Interdependencies analysis is important to simplify the product´s structure. The V-model for specification and
verification is commonly used. A 3-stage industrial process separates strategy, core technology development, and
product design for market introduction.
The building construction industry faces challenges, such as increasing project complexity and scope requirements, but shorter deadlines. Additionally, economic uncertainty and rising business competition with a subsequent decrease in profit margins for the industry demands the development of new approaches to construction management. However, the building construction sector relies on practices based on intuition and experience, overlooking the dynamics of its production system. Furthermore, researchers maintain that the construction industry has no history of the application of mathematical approaches to model and manage production. Much work has been carried out on how manufacturing practices apply to construction projects, mostly lean principles. Nevertheless, there has been little research to understand the fundamental mechanisms of production in construction. This study develops an in-depth literature review to examine the existing knowledge about production models and their characteristics in order to establish a foundation for dynamic production systems management in construction. As a result, a theoretical framework is proposed, which will be instrumental in the future development of mathematical production models aimed at predicting the performance and behaviour of dynamic project-based systems in construction.
A Computerized System for Managing Con-struction Materials for Gaza Strip Bui...IJAEMSJORNAL
construction materials management process is a key to success of a construction project. Nowadays, successful management of construction materials has to be based on thorough and updated information, and processed utiliz-ing a well designed construction materials management system. The aim of this study has been to explore the local prac-tice in construction materials management and develop a Computerized system to facilitate the management of con-struction materials mainly in the building construction. Construction materials management related literature has been generally reviewed; meanwhile some construction materials management system packages have been re-viewed also. A survey questionnaire supported by interviews is used to explore the local practice in construction materials man-agement. One hundred and twenty questionnaires were distributed to contractors of first; second, and third class, eighty-four questionnaires were received and analyzed. The researcher concluded that all contracting companies are interested in using some techniques of managing con-struction materials such as creating and updating data-base for materials categories, local and international suppliers. Also, the Israeli closure on Gaza Strip is the main element that affects materials availability and cost and causes increase the cost of main materials such as cement, reinforcement steel and aggregate. The study shows that most of contracting companies are still managing construction materials manually. Shortage of user-friendly construction materials system packages and lack of qualified personnel in using computer-based materials management systems are considered the main obstacles in using computer in construction materials management. The researcher explores Microsoft Excel capabilities and utilizes these capabilities in developing a Construction Materials Management System which named "construc-tion materials management system"(CMMS). CMMS is a PC-based system which has been designed to run under Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Excel is used in developing CMMS, as most companies in Gaza strip are familiar with it. Full description of CMMS has been given with detailed implementation procedures. CMMS has been evaluated to test its suitability to local practice. Evalua-tion of CMMS has addressed both conceptual and practi-cal issues. One of the main recommendations of this re-search is to encourage local contracting companies to have a construction materials management system pack-age and use it in determining the required quantities of construction materials in order to get materials in time and required quantitiessave time and minimize error.
The Comparison of Statistical Quality Control Results on Reinforced Concrete ...ijtsrd
Yangon, the former capital city of Myanmar, gradually increases high rise buildings. But, Myanmar, our country, is one of the countries which still weakened at the quality management system of construction projects. Few construction companies in Myanmar hold the certificates of ISO standards and also there are few people who understand that how much quality is very important for the construction industry. Actually, quality is very important for all stages of construction projects to save time and money of the whole projects. In this situation, two construction projects in Myanmar which are constructed under different construction companies have been chosen to apply the statistical quality control methods to know which areas are needed to emphasis to get the better quality performances of construction projects in Myanmar. This finding can be useful to solve some quality problems of construction projects and by using these statistical quality control methods, quality weak points can be analyzed and reduced to get the better quality performances of the construction project.
