‘Lean’ is a way to design production systems to minimize waste of materials, time, and effort in order to generate the maximum possible amount of value. This chapter and Chapter 15 are an introduction to the ideas and techniques of lean construction.
In a world of ever-more-complex construction projects, lean is all about maximising value, minimising waste and improving value to the customer. This happens through integrated and collaborative planning and project management, while making smart use of automation and data management best practices.
Lean Construction is a respect- and relationship-oriented production management-based approach to project delivery—a new and transformational way to design and build capital facilities. Lean production management caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly.
‘Lean Construction’ also known as Lean Project Delivery, is defined by Abdelhamid (2009) as a respect and relationship-oriented holistic project design and delivery process with the overarching aim of maximizing value for all stakeholders; it emphasizes and
lean means adopting a “project-as-production-system” approach to construction, defining the objective in customer terms, and decentralizing management to maximize throughput and reduce inventories.
24 gru 2002 · The foundations of lean construction. Looks at a broad range of topics related to the processes of design and construction. Its overall aim is to look at ways that clients can improve the value for money outcomes of their decisions to construct buildings.
Tools and techniques include constraints analysis, the activity definition model, and first run studies (first run studies are described in section 15.5 on Lean assembly). Constraints analysis is done by examining each activity that is scheduled to start within
