It is also pointed out that suppliers more advanced in the use of quality practices are achieving better operational performance in terms of quality, reliability, cost, flexibility and design.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100504,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management","volume":"7 3","pages":"Pages 187-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0969-7012(00)00030-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71778739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines relevant selection processes along different construction supply chain routes such as ‘design-bid-build’, ‘design-build’, ‘design-build-maintain’, ‘design-build-operate’ and ‘build-operate-transfer’.
