Developing Management and Implementation Mechanism for a Digital Supply System Transformation Programme in Construction Company

Abstract

Recent years have been marked by a rapid development and digitalization of many processes, leading to the transformation of traditional ways of doing business. In these increasingly fast-changing times, companies need to adapt to the changes in order to enhance their marketability and, accordingly, digitalize their core business processes. Although a significant number of studies where held, there is a lack of methodological approaches to develop a set of success factors according to which the digital supply system transformation programme in construction is implemented. The aim of this study is to develop a management mechanism for a digital supply system transformation programme and provide recommendations for its implementation in the construction company. In order to develop a management mechanism for digital supply system transformation programme in a project-oriented construction company, the drivers, as well the key measures and success factors of the digital transformation programme were identified. Afterwards, the significance level of identified measures and success factors of the programme were evaluated through questionnaires among stakeholders that enabled to focus on the most valuable aspects of the programme. Based on the data obtained, a management mechanism for the digital supply system transformation programme for a construction company was developed. Furthermore, the recommendations for its implementation in the construction company were developed and presented to the management of the company.
