SAAL Supply Chain to Manage Changes and Achieve Anti-Fragile Sustainable Construction Operations under Iran Turbulent Conditions

Abstract

Using the principles of uncertain thinking in complex industries such as the construction industry and also in Iran economic crisis makes this thinking one of the main solutions available. For this reason, in such industries, it is necessary for Iranian managers to examine the entire supply chain in an integrated manner. Because a break in a section will be effective along the chain. In the economic conditions of Iran, this effect causes the loss of money and sometimes even the impossibility of continuing the project. For this reason, such studies are extremely important. Therefore, the main purpose of the study is to present the concept of such an integrated and inseparable model along the supply chain. In order to create such integration, it was necessary to look at other industries as the first experience in Iran construction industry. For this reason, the basic study method has been used with the purpose of descriptive and developmental research. Computers lead to increasing the speed, accuracy and reducing the cost of repetitive and control processes, the experience of developed countries in the field of facilitating the control of regulations has caused the linking of regulations with technology, and in addition, the experience of other industries in creating integrated networks. It shows that such systems can improve performance. The SAAL supply chain control tower concept as a technologybased system is able to fill this gap to increase productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, and reduce project life cycle costs by increasing collaboration and communication between the stakeholders of a project. The purpose of implementing a control tower in construction projects is to reduce the number of mistakes from design to maintenance and after. The result of this research shows how it is possible to create value by using the control tower to manage changes and achieve a stable anti-brittle construction under chaotic conditions.
