Abstract

Prefabricated structures have steadily gained importance in the construction sector as urbanization has accelerated because of its many benefits, which include efficiency, environmental preservation, and energy conservation. The prefabricated construction supply chain has gained prominence despite its complexity, unpredictability, and risk. In the event of an emergency or other disruption, the supply chain's stability and continuity are seriously jeopardized. Improving the resilience of prefabricated building supply chains can help enterprises quickly recover and maintain their stability and sustainable operation through methods such as resource restructuring, strategy optimization, and flexible organization in case of emergencies that may cause drastic changes in the supply chain. Using a thorough collection and arrangement of pertinent domestic and international literature, this article employs the literature analysis method as its primary research approach and methodically reviews the theoretical framework and research progress of the resilience of the prefabricated building supply chain. On this basis, this study examined a number of additional variables that affect supply chain resilience, including logistics capability, production and research and development, adaptability, risk management, and informatization. Targeted optimization strategies and suggestions were also proposed. These accomplishments have a significant impact on improving the supply chains for prefabricated buildings' resilience and the sector's capacity to handle risks. To sum up, this research offers both theoretical backing and useful recommendations for enhancing the robustness of supply chains for prefabricated buildings, thereby contributing to the industry's growth.
