Demand uncertainty in construction supply chains: a discrete event simulation study

Christos Vidilakis, John Tookey, James Sommerville

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

The delivery of construction projects is typically an assembly operation involving a high number of subassemblies and materials brought on site by the supply chain. However, although supply chain management in construction has attracted significant attention, paradoxically little focus has been placed on construction supply networks and operations. This paper places emphasis on supply chain operations by looking at the logistics function of construction material suppliers.
