“…Many uncertainties that cause disruptions are hard to be identified in the construction industry. Yet, the dormant latent vulnerabilities could be eliminated (Zainal Abidin and Ingirige, 2018). Interdisciplinary collaboration is required best to use digitalization in labor-intensive industries such as construction (Liao et al , 2023).…”

Purpose This study aims to explore supply chain resilience (SCR) and provides a unique resilience index. The work measures the resilience status of 37 organizations across 22 industries and provides insight into accessing the supply chain (SC) vulnerability in an uncertain environment. Design/methodology/approach This study involves measuring the resilience status of 37 organizations across 22 industries based on a subjective decision-making approach using fuzzy logic. Experts from industries rated the importance and level of implementation of 33 attributes of SCR, which are used to develop a fuzzy index of implementation that explains the resilience status of organizations. Findings A novel coexistent resilience index is computed based on mutualism to exhibit the proportion of contribution or learning of each attribute of an organization in an industry. The research will enhance the response plans and formation of strategic alliances for mutual coexistence by industry. Research limitations/implications Evidence-based interpretations and suggestions are provided for each industry to enhance resilience through coexistence. Originality/value The work uniquely contributes to academic literature and SC strategy. The novel coexistent resilience index is computed based on mutualism, facilitating researchers to access SC resiliency.

“…The construction industry can be affected directly and indirectly by the vulnerabilities of its supply chains, as they play a crucial role in this industry; therefore, any SC disruption can cause irreparable costs in construction projects (Zainal Abidin & Ingirige, 2018a, 2018b. Zainal Abidin & Ingirige (2018b) studied the vulnerabilities affecting the construction supply chain of Malaysia by proposing a layered framework that shows the cascading impacts of SCV.…”

International trades rely on robust supply chains. However, supply chains are vulnerable to disruptions. Before implementing lean construction, identifying construction supply chain vulnerabilities (CSCV) is crucial to avoid failure. Meanwhile, an unfavorable macro-environmental context (e.g., challenging economic and political situations) can potentially affect the behavior of CSCV. This paper aims to identify and prioritize CSCV under an unfavorable macro-environmental context in a real-world case and then analyze the changes in CSCV in a period coinciding with the Covid-19 outbreak. A literature review led us to extract 26 variables that were then prioritized using the responses from questionnaires distributed among 72 participants in the studied country. A descriptive statistical approach was used to analyze the results, which showed that unlike the normal contexts mentioned in previous studies, under an unfavorable context, such CSCV as "price and exchange rate fluctuations", "supply-demand volatility", "financial issues", and "political challenges" gained priority. Moreover, analyzing the changes in CSCV indicated that the studied construction supply chain has become more vulnerable in the mentioned period. Considering the identified CSCV, this paper suggests that managers focus more on tools such as the Last Planner System and value stream mapping when implementing lean.

“…Furthermore, Zainal Abidin and Ingirige explored disruptions in a supply chain using pathogen metaphor to reflect internal hidden flaws and established appropriate strategies to prevent supply chain from disrupting. Moreover, some experts have studied the integration of information flow for making better construction supply chain operation decisions [41]. Irizarry et al combined building information modeling (BLM) with geographic information systems (GIS) into a unique system following the trail of the supply chain status [42].Čuš-Babič et al proposed a theoretical model of information mapping to eliminate information gaps within the design, prefabrication, and on-site construction processes [43].…”

Cap-and-trade has become one of the most widely used carbon emission limitation methods in the world. Its constraints have a great impact on the carbon emission reduction decisions and production operations of supply chain enterprises, as well as profit distribution. In the construction supply chain, there are few studies on the profit distribution and emission reduction decisions considering cap-and-trade policy. This paper investigates the profit distribution model of a two-echelon construction supply chain consisting of a general contractor and a subcontractor with cap-and-trade policy. Using game theory and Shapley value method, the optimal emission reduction decisions and profit distribution under three cooperation modes of pure competition, co-opetition, and pure cooperation are obtained, respectively. The research shows that the profits of the construction supply chain are increasing in pure competition, co-opetition, and pure cooperation scenarios, and the emission reduction amount of the construction supply chain in the case of pure cooperation is greater than that of pure competition and co-opetition. The carbon emission reduction amount under the co-opetition scenario is not always greater than that under the pure competition scenario, which depends on the emission reduction cost coefficient relationship of general contractor and subcontractor. When the cost coefficient of emission reduction of the general contractor is less than that of the subcontractor, the emission reduction amount under pure competition is larger than that under co-opetition. A numerical study is carried out to verify the conclusions and illustrated the profits of the supply chain decreased with the increase of carbon emission reduction cost coefficient, and had nothing to do with the emission reduction efficiency of enterprises.
