Construction supply chain management: a scoping review

Abstract

Studies related to construction supply chain management (CSCM) emerged in the mid-1990s to address the structural, economic and organizational nature typical of the construction industry. Previous researches sought to review the literature on CSCM, however, they usually focused on specific and well-defined issues. This article aimed to map the current areas and subareas of the CSCM. Adopting a bibliometric approach and following the PRISMA-ScR recommendations, a scoping review was carried out. With the help of the CiteSpace© tool, the information was viewed as a co-citation network, providing a panoramic view of how the main publications are distributed and networked, forming research areas and subareas. The key documents and the main authors were identified; the current situation and the emerging points of interest in the CSCM field were also revealed. This article establishes a knowledge base for future research, which can help scholars and managers to identify authors, documents and journals to be considered when dealing with certain topics of the CSCM.

Construction Management of Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Business Engineering through Lens of Industry 4.0 within Scientometric and Bibliometric

“…Ultimately, the business engineering is the arching and umbrella to ensure that the construction supply chain complies with the cost and benefit. Construction supply chain in the Figure 2 constitutes 19 areas that relate construction not only to supply chain but also to other trends in scholar works (Krainer et al 2021). These 19 areas of Construction Supply Chain Management (CSCM) depict the compositions of the mentioned areas accordingly The waste reduction in the first pillar resonates that waste is originated from the concentration of each construction project itself, in which it was trigger but inadequate flow of information, that affects the construction integrity , (Koskela et al 2013), (Koskela et al 2007).…”
