Abstract

To effectively address the contradiction between the uncertainty of the internal and external environment in the construction industry and the complexity and vulnerability of the construction supply chain, as well as to promote the overall security and stability of the construction supply chain network, and to prevent and mitigate the risk of disruption among node enterprises, a construction supply chain network invulnerability analysis method was proposed based on the complex network theory and cascade failure model. Firstly, from the perspectives of business, resources and information flow, the TOPSIS(technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution) method was used to assess the importance of node enterprises based on multiple complex network centrality indicators. Secondly, combined with the operational characteristics of the construction supply chain, an improved load-capacity-elasticity cascade failure model was established to measure the impact of enterprise disruption from the perspective of network loss under intentional attack, and to analyze and explore the network invulnerability improvement strategy from the perspectives of node capacity, load, and resilience. After numerical simulation and analysis, the results show these as follows. When the upstream node enterprises of the construction supply chain network suffer from the impact of disruption risk, the supply chain network can show strong network invulnerability, but it should focus on the downstream supplier enterprises, so as to avoid the network as a whole suffering from more losses due to the shortage of the supply of construction materials or basic services. To keep the small difference in the business capacity among node enterprises, the large difference in the business load and an appropriate high level of risk remediation cost investment can effectively reduce the loss of the supply chain network when the node enterprises are interrupted, thus improving the level of network invulnerability. Among the multiple types of strategies, the node capacity strategy is better than the node resilience strategy and the node load strategy in order to improve the network invulnerability. The results of the study can provide scientific references for improving the security level of construction supply chain and proposing disruption risk management strategies.
