The complexity of construction supply chains continues to increase as construction materials and methods become more intricate. Construction project stakeholders are encouraged to share information across the supply chain to foster stakeholder alignment and facilitate transparency.
RT-TC-03 created a web-based open-source digital library containing specifications from seven digital threads with supply chains on capital projects to encourage communication among stakeholders. Having open-source digital library in an interactive web-based format provides a database and user interface to promote the integration of supply chain elements with AWP practices. The research described in the team’s final report, FR-TC-03, was motivated by a specific need identified by RT-363.
RT-TC-03 identified the following benefits for implementing supply chain digital threads through the open-source web-based digital library:
RT-TC-03 established and reviewed seven digital threads associated with supply chain topics on capital projects. These digital threads built on a subset of the AWP data requirements developed by WG19-01. The following sample digital thread is included in the database (FR-TC-03, p. 26).
RT-TC-03 created an open-source digital library for the supply chain digital threads to increase the visibility of these items. Figure 3 shows the library’s structure (FR-TC-03, p. 15).
RT-TC-03 reviewed the Material Responsibility Matrix and modified it to allow users to assign responsibilities for materials among stakeholders. The user interface for this matrix is shown in the following figure (FR-TC-03, p. 85).
