The growing complexity of construction projects and the need for sustainability have made supply chain optimization a crucial factor in enhancing performance, resilience, and decision-making. This study conducts a systematic review and bibliometric analysis of research on optimization and simulation techniques applied to construction supply chains. Based on 340 selected publications from Scopus and Web of Science (1997– 2024), the analysis identifies key research trends, major contributors, and emerging themes, highlighting the field’s multidisciplinary and collaborative nature. Using Biblioshiny, the study examines scientific output, citation metrics, and coauthorship networks, revealing a 15.05% annual growth rate and 31.47% international collaboration. Keyword analysis and visualization techniques, such as cooccurrence maps and thematic clustering, illustrate the evolution of research in this domain. The findings offer valuable insights for academics and practitioners, emphasizing the role of optimization and simulation in improving the efficiency and sustainability of construction supply chains.
