Abstract:

Offsite construction (OSC) has demonstrated various benefits, but its wide adoption is constrained by complex and dynamic supply chains. It is important to establish a comprehensive performance measurement system for OSC supply chains, which however has seldom been explored in detail. This paper aims to identify the key performance indicators (KPIs) of OSC supply chains through a systematic review of the literature published from December 2000 to March 2021. A total of 65 KPIs were extracted from 84 articles, including 35 economic, 19 social, and 11 environmental KPIs. A consistent KPI framework was initially proposed to describe how the KPIs jointly assess OSC supply chains. The results indicate that previous research mainly focused on the economic aspect of OSC supply chains while social and environmental performance were largely overlooked. Under each aspect, several indicators were ascertained as frequently cited KPIs, while some others received relatively little attention. This paper contributes to a better understanding of OSC supply chain performance by investigating and interpreting current measurement efforts from a multidimensional perspective. To practically develop a quantifiable assessment method, further research should build on the framework and pay more attention to the overall or total performance and the neglected KPIs, particularly in social and environmental aspects.
