Abstract:
|
The increasing complexity of the cladding procurement and fragmentation of the supply chain
bring challenges for information management. The purpose of this research was to identify the issues
concerning the information sources. A questionnaire survey was the key method of this research, while
industry meetings and informal interviews were employed to provide in-depth understanding of the
communication related issues in the industry. It was found that the participants of the cladding supply chain
were experiencing difficulties of identifying information sources and accessing information, and that an
industry level third party acting as an independent information source could be accepted by the cladding
industry.
Key words: Building engineering, information sources, cladding, supply chain, , ,
