| Abstract | ||||
| Geographic information databases can store, manipulate, and manage geographic data related to the suppliers used by building materials manufacturers. The geodetic supply chain management (SCM) systems used in engineering include all the movements and storage related to materials for works in process and for finished products, ranging from the point of origin to the destination. The availability of these systems is important for the construction industry because they reduce costs and save time, thereby enhancing productivity and effectiveness. This study describes the traditional supply chain model and a proposed geographical information system (GIS)-based SCM that focuses on the implementation of an electronic document management system, which maps the application framework to integrate geodetic support with the supply chain system. This procedure involves guidance to locate the nearest suppliers to satisfy the information requested by project members in different locations. This study also explored the use of GIS-based SCM as collaborative tools in innovative procedures to implement Web mapping services, as well as aspects of their integration by generating an interactive GIS for the construction industry platform. | ||||
