“…discretising the trade-off relationship into a series of points (sometimes referred to as 'crashing modes') [4,5]; and neglecting the efficiency loss incurred as more resources work simultaneously on the same activity [2]. In particular, the latter simplification has been causing significant deviations between planned and actual durations in real construction projects, as recently analysed by Arashpour et al [6][7][8][9] in off-site construction.…”

“…The optimization method of PCSC has developed from traditional technology (e.g. linear programming and integer programming) [88] to modern technology (e.g., genetic algorithm, ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization) [97]. Similarly, the optimization objective is gradually shifted from the traditional single objective, such as progress, to multi-objective optimization [98].…”

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.

“…Many procurement management studies were conducted for the manufacturing phase of OSC projects because they are related to reliable factory production and supply chain management that support just-in-time supply of OSC components to on-site (Zhai et al 2017). Time management studies are frequent in both the manufacturing and the assembly phases as developing component production schedules off-site (Arashpour et al 2016) and developing assembly plans and schedules on-site (Li et al 2018) are both critical to the success of OSC projects.…”

Off-Site Construction (OSC) is a new construction method based on factory production. Due to its advantages over traditional methods, such as high productivity, economic efficiency, and excellence in quality, OSC research has actively been conducted worldwide ranging from design and production standardization, transportation method, to construction planning. Thus, to understand what knowledge has been developed to improve the management of OSC projects, this study reviewed OSC papers that focus on improving a specific project management area (e.g., time, cost, and quality) in a specific phase of a project, i.e., “process-level research.” This study found 94 papers with such a focus, out of 222 OSC project management papers published from 1986 to 2018, and assessed the trends of the research with multiple dimensions, including project phases, OSC types, application types, and management areas. Main findings are as follows: (1) process-level research has been increasing fast since 2006. (2) Non-volumetric pre-assembly type contributes the most to the increase of process-level OSC management research. (3) Research focuses vary depending on the application type (e.g., living quality issues for residential, economics issues for non-residential, productivity issues for plant). (4) Wider project management areas (e.g., quality, human resources, risk) have gained attention from OSC papers since 2006. (5) Non-volumetric type gained interests in residential and non-residential buildings, whereas modular type was studied frequently in plants. This study would help project management researchers understand the trends in OSC and plan and conduct future OSC project management research.
