“…However, examined three types of configurators could only fit for a certain phase of projects lifecycle, and lack connections between each other. Second, previous studies identify multiple module drivers, such as module connections, transportation distance and production time (Anvari, Angeloudis and Ochieng, 2016;Said, Chalasani and Logan, 2017;Salama et al, 2017). However, due to the uniqueness of construction projects, module drivers should be identified, and more importantly, quantified for different building types.…”

To improve productivity, the construction industry is increasingly adopting methods of industrialized construction. A key strategy to support industrialized construction is to leverage an adaptable product development platform, i.e. a configurator. Although many benefits of configurators (e.g. mass customization) have been witnessed in the manufacturing industry, the application of configurators in construction is limited and immature. This paper reviews eleven configurators in academic research and four configurators in industry practice. First, using a comparative analysis, the authors generalize three strategic typologies of configurators developed and implemented for industrialized construction. Second, stakeholder requirements are identified for each typology. Finally, the technical approaches, including related methods and theories, are reviewed using a framework of three-tier architecture decomposition. The findings contribute to practice by allowing AEC stakeholders to understand strategic typologies and customer requirements for configurators. This can assist in guiding the future development of mass-customized configurators.

“…[94] proposed a simulation model for disturbance assessment to evaluate the uncertainty of PCSCM, which can prevent various disturbances in time and improve profits. In addition, simulation can effectively improve the professional quality of practitioners and their understanding of PCSC concepts and knowledge [96].…”

Prefabricated construction (PC), with the characteristics of green, environmentally friendly, energy saving and high production efficiency, is attracting more and more attention from all over the world. Supply chain management is closely related to the application efficiency of PC, but only in the last three years has this interdisciplinary research received due attention. The prefabricated construction supply chain management (PCSCM) have not received enough attention. Especially recently, the related literature shows explosive growth. This paper adopted the method of systematic literature review through the tool of bibliometric statistics. And we reviewed 152 articles from 2001 to 2018, with the goal of understanding the current situation, trends, and gaps in PCSCM research, and a framework is proposed to promote its development. First, the study discussed the four themes of clustering, concentrating mainly on strategic research and project evaluation, PC supply chain process design and optimization, supply chain integration and management, and the application of advanced technology. Then, the research gaps and conceptual development framework to promote PCSCM were reported. Only through the coordinated development of technology, market circumstances, and decision-making level of participants, can the PCSC form an integrated whole, so as to optimize the efficiency and sustainability of prefabricated construction industry and improve its level.

The increasing need for bridge infrastructure in Indonesia requires an efficient and lean construction process. The aim of this research to evaluate the use of precast concrete elements on bridges based on the Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) criteria. DfMA is a principle design that considers the process of manufacture and assembly components based on the following criteria, i.e., simplificity of design, number of components, standardization on elements or material and ease of handling. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine the weights for each criteria. Data were collected through observations on a bridge project, interviews with engineers and questionnaires. A typical girder and slab bridge is used as an object for DfMA-based evaluation. The results of evaluation design of prefabricated components to recommend some that are suitable for use in bridge construction. The last case study was taken to one of the bridge construction projects on the newly completed highway is done to identify the prefabricated components used. Bridge analysis and re-design are carried out with the DfMA concept, including costs incurred, resource scheduling and discussions of project risk. The results of analysis with simulation design giving efficiency 28,83% simplificity of design; 8,74% number of components and standardization on elements or materials; 25% ease of handling; 51,53% assembly time; 23,39% cost of work and 18,87% duration time. Finally, the level of risk of work received such as weather conditions and work safety is reduced. In closing, recommendations were given for further DfMA development.
