Critical influencing factors of supply chain management for modular integrated construction
Abstract Modular integrated construction (MiC) is evoking interest as a sustainable construction method leading towards industry 4.0. However, its complex supply chain and fragile logistic operations impede project performance. This paper, therefore, explores the critical influencing factors of MiC supply chain operations and studies their interrelationships. A systematic review is conducted across multiple supply chain research domains to identify relevant factors. These factors are evaluated using eigenvector and MICMAC analysis. Four themes of critical factors are determined using factor's interrelationships: dominating, symbiotic, external, and potential influencing factors. These themes demonstrate the influencing nature and mechanism of factors. As a result, most of the assembling-related factors are found to dominate and dynamically control the MiC supply chain performance. This paper also highlights potential factors that need further research attention, studies prevalent factors affecting the MiC supply chain and offers future research directions.

Highlights General supply chain management, logistics management and construction supply chain domains are systematically reviewed. Forty-three significant factors were ranked using eigenvector approach. Critical factors are evaluated and categorized using MICMAC analysis. Factors' relationships are analysed, and four themes of factors are determined. Paper studies prevalent factors affecting MiC supply chain and highlights potential factors that need further research.
