Construction Supply Chain (Document No : IJE-2001-2270) ".

DEAR IJE EDITOR,

We were pleased to have an opportunity to revise our manuscript entitled "Identifying

Tools and Methods for Risk Identification and Assessment in Construction Supply
Chain" (Document No: IJE-2001-2270). In the revised manuscript, we have carefully
considered reviewers' comments and suggestions. As instructed, we have attempted to
explain changes made in reaction to all comments succinctly. We reply to each
comment in a point-by-point fashion, as may see on pages 2 of this letter. We have
highlighted the revision in the manuscript using the yellow highlight ( ). We have also
incorporated the article into IJE template, and we have made some improvements in the
paper to follow the IJE standard ( for tables, figures, and references). The reviewers'
comments were constructive overall, and we are appreciative of such valuable feedback
on our original submission. After addressing the issues raised, we feel the quality of the
paper is much improved.

Sincerely

identified the improvement required for this paper.

REVIEWER #2 :
This paper is technical note.
the paper do not have case study.

Answer :

Thank you for your comment. I aggreed this paper does not have a case study.

This paper's goal is to identify the best tools for identifying and assesing the
risk in construction supply chain. The methods that are being used in these
papers are systematic literature review, where the identified tools from various
literature are being investigated their weakness and strength.
At the end of the papers, we propossed modified methods that are suitable for
risk identification and assessment in the construction supply chain.

In the conclusion papers, we have stated that this research is still open, and we
invite other researchers to also create a case study. We are also in the midst of
continuing this paper by adding modeling and simulation in a case study .

REVIEWER #3 :
This paper has provided a systematic literature review for risk identification
and assessment frameworks in the construction supply chain. I think this paper
has been organized well. it is provide to enhance the quality of figures.

Answer :

Thank you for your comment. We have enhanced the quality of figures ( Figure
1& 2 - page 2, Figur 4-5 – page 3, Figure 6-7 - page 5, Figure 8 – page 7), and
we have highlighted the changes using yellow highlight.
