Abstract

The benefits of prefabrication have been widely recognized in many regions. To meet the needs of green building, prefabricated construction has also been promoted in China. Supply chain management is considered key to the success of prefabrication projects. However, there has been no systematic study on the risk factors affecting the supply chain of prefabricated buildings in China. This study aims to improve awareness of risk management in the supply chain of prefabricated buildings in China by identifying and classifying the risk factors. Through a systematic literature review, this paper identified 36 risk factors and categorized them into five aspects: “factors related to process planning and operations” (12 factors), “factors related to technology and information” (6 factors), “factors related to stakeholders and collaboration” (9 factors), “factors related to policies and regulations” (5 factors), and “factors related to the environment” (4 factors). The research found that in previous studies, factors related to “process planning and operations” were mentioned the most and were thus considered very significant risk factors. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process, we calculated the weights of 36 indicators. Suggestions for the development of the prefabricated supply chain in China were proposed, including enhancing labor skill training and mass production of prefabricated products to control costs.
