RESUMO: As práticas da construção enxuta vêm sendo difundidas de forma progressiva na indústria da construção civil e, com isso, surge a indispensabilidade de mecanismos que permitam a avaliação de sua implementação. As empresas podem aplicar os princípios da Lean Constuction possibilitando os meios para uma melhoria contínua de seus resultados em termos de prazos, custos e demanda ao cliente. O objetivo do trabalho é aplicar a ferramenta de avaliação da implementação da Construção Enxuta (LCAT) em três empresas construtoras goianas. A pesquisa é classificada como quantitativa e qualitativa, aplicada e de caráter exploratório. A partir da análise dos dados referentes à média de todas as quatro categorias (Gestão da Qualidade, Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos, Planejamento e Controle da Produção e Gestão de Projetos), as empresas B e C apresentaram percentuais próximos entre si, correspondendo a 61% e 62%, respectivamente. Esses resultados foram superiores ao da empresa A, equivalendo a 53%. A principal contribuição da pesquisa constituiu em evidenciar as práticas para a implementação da Lean Construction nas empresas pesquisadas e despertar a estas indicações de ferramentas que podem ser facilmente implementadas a um baixo custo.   ABSTRACT: The practices of lean construction have been progressively diffused in the civil construction industry, and with this, comes up the indispensability of mechanisms that allow the evaluation of their implementation. Companies can apply the principles of Lean Constuction by enabling them to continuously improve their results in terms of deadlines, costs and customer demand. The objective of this work is to apply the Lean Construction Assessment Tool (LCAT) in three construction companies in Goiás. The research is classified as quantitative and qualitative, applied and exploratory. Based on the analysis of the data for the average of all four categories (Quality Management, Supply Chain Management, Production Planning and Control and Project Management), companies B and C had close percentages, corresponding to 61 % And 62%, respectively. These results were superior to that of company A, equivalent to 53%. The main contribution of the research was to highlight the practices for the implementation of Lean Construction in the companies surveyed and to awaken to these indications of tools that can be easily implemented at a low cost.

Purpose To deal with the present situation and recover after the COVID-19 pandemic, construction firms are required to recognise the trends in construction supply chain management (CSCM) for the upcoming years and determine the appropriate practices towards the trends for the improvement of construction activities in terms of strategy, tactic and operations. This paper aims to recognise key trends in CSCM and uses these trends as strategic criteria for the evaluation and prioritisation of lean construction (LC) tools at different project phases including design and architectural engineering, planning and control, on-site construction and safety management. Design/methodology/approach The integrated analytic hierarchy process–Delphi method is used to collect and analyse the data from construction experts to evaluate the importance levels of the CSCM trends and recommend the appropriate tools for LC practices to improve project performances. Findings Seven key CSCM trends are identified: lean supply chain management (SCM), supply chain (SC) integration, SC standardisation, SC problem-solving, SC information-sharing, SC flexibility and SC sustainability. Based on these trends, a set of prioritised lean tools are suggested for LC practices, in which “virtual design construction” (VDC) and “last planner system” are considered as the central tools. These two LC practices can be integrated with other effective tools to support the strategic, tactical and operational targets in construction supply chain (CSC) projects. Research limitations/implications This study gives the managerial implications by developing an application framework of LC practices for CSC projects. The framework promotes “VDC” as a strategic tool for the phase of design and architectural engineering and considers “last planner system” as the central LC practice for the phase of project planning and control. The framework also focuses on the improvement of efficiency in construction operations by taking into account the aspects of on-site collaboration, problem-solving, improvement and safety. Originality/value Up to date, there is still a lack of researches in classifying and prioritising the significant LC tools for each project phase to deal with CSC issues in both breadth and depth. Thus, this study is performed to provide construction managers with the awareness of CSCM trends on which they can focus to have strategic criteria for selecting LC practices to improve CSC performances.

Nowadays, almost none of the fields of human activity can do without supply chain management. In addition, implementation of one in construction companies contributes to major economic benefits. The article considers the application feasibility of blockchain in logistics of construction materials through the usage of RFID technology. An example of introduction to the process of manufacturing and delivery of ready-mixed concrete is given. The main advantages, shortcomings, perspectives, as well as difficulties arising in the implementation of blockchain technology in the construction industry are described. Special attention is paid to the applicability of these technologies.

Greening the supply chain practices is essential to all the sectors. Currently the management looking after the construction activities is also highly focusing on this. It is also coined as sustainable supply chain management. The sustainability is an important factor in construction industry rather than any other industries. The present research paper aimed at identifying and creating awareness of green supply chain management in materials and practices implied in Indian construction Industry. Many of the construction companies are not following sustainable practices in their day-to-day activities. There is a lot of scope to implement the sustainable practices, further helps in reducing the carbon emissions in the supply chain and helps to provide the recycling of the materials and thus reduces the wastage. This improves the construction industry economy and environment. The current research aimed at analyzing the strategies related to green supply chain management practices for construction Industry.

Supply chain comprises the flow of products, information, and money. In traditional supply chain management, business processes are disconnected from stock control and, as a result, inventory is the direct output of incomplete information. The focus of contemporary supply chain management is to organize, plan, and implement these flows. First, at the organizational level, products are manufactured, transported, and stored based on the customers’ needs. Second, planning and control of component production, storage, and transport are managed using central supply management and replenished through centralized procurement. Third, the implementation of the supply chain involves the entire cycle from the order-entry process to order fulfillment and delivery. Data mining can create a better match between supply and demand, reducing or sometimes even eliminating the stocks.

Depth Study

In recent years, mounting environmental and sustainability concerns are driving the construction industry players to adopt green supply chain management (GSCM) in their organizations. GSCM is a converging sustainability approach that integrates environmental thinking and initiatives into the traditional supply chain management (SCM) practices. However, despite having various benefits, this approach has not been widely implemented. Therefore, this paper aims to reveal the challenges faced by Malaysian construction companies in implementing GSCM. A total of 160 questionnaires were distributed among contractors and consultants in Malaysian Construction Companies. Only 50 questionnaires completed by the respondents resulting in a response rate of 32%. The research found that leadership and commitment from top management as the main challenges among construction players in implementing GSCM, in addition to changing mindset and culture and government support and regulation. This finding will allow practitioners to acknowledge and prioritize the challenges embedded with GSCM implementation, thus come out with strategies to overcome the challenges. This research can be further enriched by including an in-depth study on the GSCM challenges through qualitative research.
