Construction Supply Chain Management HandbookWilliam J. O'Brien, Carlos T. Formoso, Vrijhoef Ruben, Kerry London CRC Press, 2008 M10 20 - 518 pages Mounting emphasis on construction supply chain management (CSCM) is due to both global sourcing of materials and a shortage of labor. These factors force increasing amounts of value-added work to be conducted off-site deep in the supply chain. Construction Supply Chain Management Handbook compiles in one comprehensive source an overview of the dive |
