Downstream Supply Chain Effects of Direct Digital Kitting in the Construction Industry

Paper in proceeding, 2023

Solutions that improve operational efficiency in the construction industry is crucial. Direct digital kitting (DDK) is suggested for enhancing supply chain performance and reducing manhours throughout the supply chain and at construction site. We examine, by a single case, the downstream impacts of DDK enabled by a digital product innovation for components of inner walls. Potentials of DDK in construction supply chains have been assessed. The study provides insights on performance effects of DDK, requirements for its implementation, and conditions that alter the effects.
