Title: | A coordinated approach for supply-chain tracking in the liquefied natural gas industry | Authors: | Wang, J Chi, HL Shou, WC Chong, HY Wang, XY |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | Sustainability, Dec. 2018, v. 10, no. 12, 4822, p. 1-25 | Abstract: | With the increased size and complexity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, supply-chain management has become a challenging process due to involvements of the remote location of the project site and the multiple stakeholders. The transparency and traceability of the supply-chain are critical as any surpluses or shortages of materials will put the project at risk. Currently, limited research has been conducted on LNG projects considering the total supply-chain perspective, which refers to all stages of materials tracking in off-site manufacturing, transportation, and site logistics. The purpose of this research is to propose a framework of a coordinated approach for supply-chain tracking in the LNG industry. Two focus group studies were organized to develop the proposed framework: One for LNG construction supply chain process development, and another for alternative tracking technologies selection. In addition, two experiments, namely off-site fabrication tracking and site logistics tracking, were conducted in a field to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed framework. Technology limitations were also discussed in terms of field implementation. | Keywords: | Supply-chain management RFID GPS Barcode Liquefied natural gas |
