Mounting emphasis on construction supply chain management (CSCM) is due to both global sourcing of materials and a shortage of labor. This book presents an overview of the diverse research and examples of construction supply chain practice around the world. It also reflects the emergence of CSCM as an important area of multi-national research.

Reflecting the emergence of CSCM as an important area of multinational research and practice, this volume takes an interdisciplinary perspective with contributions from leading international authors in three major areas: production and operations analysis, organizational perspectives, and information technology.
