OPTIMIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION SUPPLY CHAINS

Abstract

The optimization of supply chains in the con
struction industry is crucial for enhancing operational effi
ciency, reducing costs, and ensuring timely project delivery. 
This research investigates strategies and technologies that can 
improve supply chain performance in construction projects. 
It highlights the importance of efficient demand forecasting, 
inventory management, and supplier coordination to mitigate 
delays and shortages of critical materials. The study also em
phasizes the integration of advanced technologies such as Ar
tificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and data 
analytics to improve decision-making, monitor supply chain 
performance in real-time, and predict potential risks. Addi
tionally, the research explores the role of automation, lean 
construction principles, and sustainable practices in enhanc
ing supply chain management.
