  2. 36. Supply Chain Management in the Construction Industry

    Author : Fredrik Olsson; Teknisk logistik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In this licentiate thesis the implications of a deliberate use of logistics knowledge have been investigated by describing and analyzing the use of a supply chain management approach in the construction industry. A five-step approach is used in the thesis. First, theoretical models are developed from the supply chain management literature. READ MORE
