Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of construction project management from supply chain management perspective to gain insight from all constituents and to identify areas of improvement. In order to suggest opportunities for improvement, interviews with the members of a typical urban office building project in US were held. Based on that, a qualitative analysis of construction projects is presented. Focusing on electrical and mechanical sub-systems, this study illustrates the roles of subcontractors, suppliers, distributors, and manufacturing representatives as well as the complexity that a general contractor fares in managing its supply chain. The author$^{\circ}\phi$s recommendations are focused on process restructuring and automation, which include some quantifiable performance measures, incentives, and their alignment with each other

본 연구에서는 건설 프로젝트에 대한 공급사슬 관리 측면에서의 분석을 통하여, 프로젝트를 구성하는 전반적 구성 요소들에 대한 심층적인 이해와 이의 개선 방안을 다루고 있다. 이러한 건설 공급사슬 관리 차원의 효율성 향상을 도모코자, 본 연구에서는 미국의 일반적인 고층 사무 빌딩 프로젝트에 참여하는 실제 공급사슬 구성원들과의 인터뷰를 통하여, 건설 프로젝트 관리에 대한 공급사슬 관리 맥락에서의 정성적인 분석을 시행하였다. 본 연구는 전기 및 기계 분야 공급사슬을 중심으로 하여, 공급사슬을 구성하는 하도급 업체, 공급자, 제조업체 및 유통업자의 역할을 조사 하였고, 아울러 원도급 업체가 프로젝트 관리 상에 직면할 수 있는 문제점들에 대하여도 파악하였다. 이를 토대로 본 연구에서는 크게 프로세스 재구성(restructuring)과 자동화(automation)라는 개념에 의거한 개선 방안들을 제안하였으며, 인터뷰를 통해 조사된 현황 파악 척도 및 인센티브 제도와의 조율 방안을 제시 하였다.
