Evaluation of the logistics toughness of prefabricated buildings via DEMATEL–PROMETHEE II

To address potential uncertainties and disruptions in the production process of prefabricated components that may lead to supply delays or interruptions, this study evaluates the logistics resilience of prefabricated buildings, aiming to increase their adaptability and risk resistance in the face of uncertainty and unexpected events. To this end, this study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) to establish a logistics resilience evaluation index system, encompassing predictive capability, responsiveness, adaptability, recovery capability, and learning ability. Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) is subsequently used to determine the weight of each indicator, which is combined with the preference ranking organization method for enrichment of evaluations II (PROMETHEE II) model for multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) to construct a logistics resilience evaluation study for prefabricated buildings. Finally, four representative prefabricated building projects are selected for analysis to calculate the logistics resilience of prefabricated buildings. The study results indicate that the logistics resilience ranking of the target projects is as follows: Project A > Project C > Project B > Project D, indicating that the resilience of Projects A, C, B, and D decreases sequentially when facing uncertain events. This study demonstrates that rational logistics resilience evaluation and optimization can significantly improve construction efficiency and overall risk resistance in prefabricated building projects.
