Oyefusi, O N; Enegbuma, W I and Brown, A (2025) From systematic literature review to performance criteria evaluation: advancing green supply chain management in construction. International Journal of Construction Management, 25(3), pp. 249-264. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has gained significant attention across various industries due to its potential to incorporate sustainable practices throughout a product's lifecycle. However, the construction industry lacks a systematic investigation into the prevailing GSCM practices specific to its domain, resulting in limited implementation. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a systematic literature review on the various GSCM practices applicable within construction. Through the systematic literature review (SLR), existing research on GSCM in construction is synthesized, allowing for the identification of key themes, trends, and performance evaluation criteria. To further expand the existing knowledge base on GSCM in the construction industry, this study proposes a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model to assess the performance of GSCM practices in construction. The model incorporates diverse evaluation criteria encompassing environmental, economic, organizational, and social aspects identified through the SLR. The developed model serves as a benchmark, empowering decision-makers in the construction industry to assess their current supply chain practices, identify areas for improvement, and make informed decisions to enhance sustainable thinking.

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
