Abstract
For large scale construction sites or construction sites in urban environments, a CCC is sometimes used to manage the logistics within material deliveries. A CCC is a place close to one or more construction sites, which facilitates the flow of materials going to the site through the supply chain. The CCC is comparable with a warehouse, since the construction materials are stored in the CCC until they are needed at the site. Another advantage of a CCC is the opportunity to reduce waste (or carbon emission from e.g. traffic) from the construction site and to recycle non-used materials. Despite the mentioned advantages of using a CCC, this is a relative new term, which almost only has been used in the United Kingdom. The question is, why is this not more commonly used worldwide? It is interesting to investigate and describe the term CCC and the advantages/disadvantages compared to e.g. the “deliver in time” method or other alternatives. It is essential to describe and discuss things like: The benefits of using a CCC, when is it the right choice, what is the optimal location and how is it implemented in a construction process? All this will be covered in a Wiki-article, which hopefully will be a short guidance to future project/construction managers, when the logistics of a construction site is considered, especially regarding where to use and not to use a CCC.
