Integrating lean and green optimisation into decision-making frameworks in construction logistics: a systematic literature review

Logistics plays a decisive role in the performance of construction projects, owing to its central position within supply chains and the complexity of the trade-offs it involves. These decisions involve a wide range of stakeholders and require the reconciliation of operational, environmental and organisational constraints that are often interdependent. Against this backdrop, this study presents a systematic review of the literature aimed at analysing research on decision-making in construction logistics, from an integrated theoretical perspective. The analysis is based on three fundamental dimensions: stakeholder integration, the use of data in decision-support systems, and lean–green optimisation approaches. Based on 60 articles selected from 321 publications identified between 2015 and 2025, the results highlight a persistent fragmentation of the research, with these dimensions generally being addressed in isolation. This compartmentalisation limits the ability of existing models to effectively support decision-making and to balance operational performance with sustainability. To address this, this research proposes an integrated conceptual framework that links these three dimensions. It thus contributes to a better understanding of the interdependencies between organisational, informational and operational factors and to strengthening the theoretical conceptualisation of decision-making in construction logistics.
