  • An Ontology and Multi-Agent Based Decision Support Framework for Prefabricated Component Supply Chain
    Information Systems Frontiers, 2019
    Co-Authors: Juan Du, Hengqing Jing, Vijayan Sugumaran, Kim-kwang Raymond Choo, Daniel Castro-lacouture
    Abstract:

    Due to industrialization and informatization of the construction industry, Prefabricated construction has attracted wide attention from both research and practitioner communities. In Prefabricated construction, there are exacting requirements for information sharing. Also, data in a Prefabricated Component supply chain tend to be dispersed in design, production, transportation and other stages. In other words, such data are significantly multi-source heterogeneous. Without an effective way of participating in supply chain dynamic collaboration, decision-making at various stages and resource allocation can be extremely challenging. This paper proposes a decision support framework for Prefabricated Component supply chain based on ontology and multi-agent. The framework comprises the ontology layer (i.e. provides data support for the model), the agent interaction layer (i.e. serves as the communication hub to coordinate the data transmission between modules), and the agent simulation layer (i.e. simulates interaction behavior of participants, and supports decision making). Using the Shanghai Chenxiang Road Station complex project as a case study, the paper demonstrates the validity of the proposed ontology and multi-agent based decision support framework.

  • RFID and Multi-Agent Based Architecture for Information Sharing in Prefabricated Component Supply Chain
    IEEE Access, 2017
    Co-Authors: Vijayan Sugumaran, Bonan Gao
    Abstract:

    With the increasing volume and scale of Prefabricated architecture in China, there is urgent and critical need for the seamless integration of Prefabricated Component supply chain, which covers project design, Component production, logistics and transportation, construction, and maintenance. Due to the coordination problem between the links in the supply chain, the overall operating cost of the upstream and downstream enterprises becomes uncontrollable and the scale effect does not materialize. In this paper, based on RFID application and multi-agent simulation, an information tracking and supply mechanism for Prefabricated supply chain are proposed. The research builds the information connections along the whole supply chain using RFID and creates the possibility of zero inventory of Prefabricated Components along the supply chain. Besides, in order to lower the impact of the demand fluctuation on the supply chain, the research proposes the industry alliance mechanism to satisfy the dynamic supply requirements. This paper, first, summarizes relevant studies on RFID, multi-agent, and industry alliance, and then proposes an RFID and multi-agent-based system architecture for Prefabricated Component supply chain for information tracking and coordination. It uses a case study involving underground precast tunnel segments to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach in addition to establishing an industry alliance to solve the problem of demand fluctuation.

  • Collaborative Filtering-Based Matching and Recommendation of Suppliers in Prefabricated Component Supply Chain
    Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 2017
    Co-Authors: Hengqing Jing
    Abstract:

    In the past 20 years, with the continuous growth of the Prefabricated Component supply chain, the integration of fragmented information in the supply chain has aroused wide attention. At present, the information of all aspects in the supply chain is isolated, and the problem of the separation of each ring is serious, which not only results in the isolated decision-making of the parties and the waste of resources, but also lead to inefficient supply chain. B2B come into being, which provides real-time data and information interaction for the parties in supply chain, and improve the overall efficiency of the supply chain. This paper focuses on the problem of supplier matching, in B2B platform, proposing a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on matching suppliers, which recommend suppliers for the buyers accurately and improve the overall efficiency of the Prefabricated construction industry supply chain.
