The research provides a comprehensive investigation of supply chain management in the construction industry, with a specific focus on configuration, coordination, and collaboration. The study covers the issues concerning the construction supply chain, which stands out due to its complexity, fragmentation, and temporary nature. Through a systematic review of the literature, this study seeks to understand the various configurations adopted by construction supply chains, investigate coordination practices among its stakeholders, and examine long-term collaborative relationships. The study adopts reference frameworks to analyze stakeholder roles, linkages and processes with respect to configuration; role and mechanisms of coordination; need, types and factors of collaboration. A systematic search of relevant literature is followed by a rigorous selection process to identify significant articles for the purpose of the analysis, accounting to a total of 130. The study's uniqueness stems from its comprehensive approach to SCM in the construction sector, as well as its use of a transparent and replicable methodology. Overall, the study offers significant insights with broad applicability across project types and configurations. It provides a comprehensive and systematic mapping of stakeholders in the construction supply chain, highlighting the growing importance of involving end users. Additionally, the study delves into coordination mechanisms tailored to the construction industry, surpassing generic practices. Moreover, it promotes transversal studies, among different collaboration types identified in the literature, to uncover potential synergies. These findings contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field and offer valuable guidance for both practitioners and researchers seeking to enhance construction supply chain management.
La ricerca fornisce un’analisi completa della gestione della catena di approvvigionamento nel settore delle costruzioni, con un’attenzione specifica alla configurazione, al coordinamento ed alla collaborazione. Lo studio copre tematiche relative alla filiera delle costruzioni, contraddistinta per la sua complessità, frammentazione e temporaneità. Attraverso una revisione sistematica della letteratura, questo studio analizza le varie configurazioni adottate dalla filiera dell'edilizia, indaga le pratiche di coordinamento tra le sue parti, e ne esamina la collaborazione a lungo termine. Lo studio adotta quadri di riferimento per analizzare attori, nessi e processi rispetto alla configurazione; ruolo e meccanismi di coordinamento; necessità, tipi e fattori di collaborazione. Una ricerca approfondita della letteratura è seguita da un rigoroso processo di selezione per identificare articoli significativi ai fini dell'analisi, per un totale di 130 pubblicazioni. L'unicità dello studio deriva dal suo approccio globale alla gestione della catena di approvvigionamento nel settore delle costruzioni, nonché dall'uso di una metodologia trasparente e replicabile. Nel complesso, l’analisi offre approfondimenti significativi, con un'ampia applicabilità a vari tipi e configurazioni di progetto. Fornisce una mappatura completa e sistematica dei membri della filiera delle costruzioni, evidenziando l'importanza di un maggior coinvolgimento degli utenti finali. Approfondisce i meccanismi di coordinamento pensati su misura per l'industria delle costruzioni. Inoltre, promuove studi trasversali, tra i diversi tipi di collaborazione individuati in letteratura, per attuare potenziali sinergie. Questi risultati contribuiscono all'avanzamento delle conoscenze nel settore e offrono una guida per professionisti e ricercatori intenti a migliorare la gestione della catena di approvvigionamento delle costruzioni.

Abstract
The research provides a comprehensive investigation of supply chain management in the construction industry, with a specific focus on configuration, coordination, and collaboration. The study covers the issues concerning the construction supply chain, which stands out due to its complexity, fragmentation, and temporary nature. Through a systematic review of the literature, this study seeks to understand the various configurations adopted by construction supply chains, investigate coordination practices among its stakeholders, and examine long-term collaborative relationships. The study adopts reference frameworks to analyze stakeholder roles, linkages and processes with respect to configuration; role and mechanisms of coordination; need, types and factors of collaboration. A systematic search of relevant literature is followed by a rigorous selection process to identify significant articles for the purpose of the analysis, accounting to a total of 130. The study's uniqueness stems from its comprehensive approach to SCM in the construction sector, as well as its use of a transparent and replicable methodology. Overall, the study offers significant insights with broad applicability across project types and configurations. It provides a comprehensive and systematic mapping of stakeholders in the construction supply chain, highlighting the growing importance of involving end users. Additionally, the study delves into coordination mechanisms tailored to the construction industry, surpassing generic practices. Moreover, it promotes transversal studies, among different collaboration types identified in the literature, to uncover potential synergies. These findings contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field and offer valuable guidance for both practitioners and researchers seeking to enhance construction supply chain management.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
