Abstract
This paper utilizes a systematic literature review methodology to identify the present focuses and discuss the future directions of decision-making in construction supply chain management (CSCM). The results show that, at present, the CSCM applications are still focusing on material and resources management with the internal supply chain (SC) integration. Strategic decisions related to building partnerships, IT-based planning and logistics-based planning are not conducted at the early phase of planning and design. For future trends in CSCM application, a framework is proposed to leverage the three important points: the collaborative planning and design with advanced techniques; the lean procurement with BIM and third-party logistics; and the application of Lean and BIM in construction operations and delivery. The original contribution of this paper is the attempt of identifying CSC decisions and suggests how they should be delivered during the phases of a construction project with the use of appropriate SC methods and tools.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
