Supply Chain Management for Stealth Construction

Abstract

The chapter explored the critical components, challenges, and technological advancements in construction supply chain management (CSCM), focusing on stealth construction (STC). It delved into STC encompassing nature, highlighting its unique challenges in its supply chain management and the necessity for adaptive technologies. It further discussed the benefits of tailoring supply chain management specifically for STC, emphasising the importance of developing the building’s cross-section, managing visibility, controlling energy transmission, and implementing countermeasures. Practical applications of CSCM in STC are also examined. This chapter sheds light on the complexities of managing supply chains in STC contexts and offers insights into strategies and technologies to address these challenges effectively.
