SCM Challenges and Opportunitiesin the Timber Construction Sector
The purpose of this paper is to identify the main
challenges faced by companies in the timber construction sector and
to provide improvement opportunities that can be implemented on a
short-, medium- and long-term basis. To identify the challenges and
propose actions for each company a literature review and a multiple
case research were conducted using the Quick Scan Audit
Methodology. Finally, the findings and outcomes are compared with
each other to support companies in the timer construction sector
when implementing and restructuring their day-to-day activities.
