Supply Chain Modeling for BIM-oriented Construction Schedule Management: CODP based Classification Approach

Providing accurate, complete and real-time supply and logistics information for construction schedule control is a significant issue in construction management. This paper aims to design a holistic control model for BIM-oriented CSC (Construction Supply Chain). First, this paper analyzes the information requirement of different supply nodes and presents the strategies of lead time management influenced by uncertainty based on CODP (Customer Order Decoupling Point) classification thinking. In the next stage of the study, efforts are made to integrate BIM models into CSC according to CODP-based rule and attention level setting. The approach of BIM-oriented CSC modeling focuses on supply information integration with IFC model as well as the information exchange process among key CSC vertices. It is believed that the approach applied in CSC modeling can help elevate construction schedule controlling, supply lead time planning and BIM model development from the operational level to strategic level.
