LEAN CONSTRUCTION:
Lean construction 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.
Lean Construction is using the same principles as lean production to reduce waste and increase the productivity and effectiveness in construction work.
Lean construction results from the application of a new form of production management to construction.
Tools or methodologies that were developed and employed in Lean manufacturing have relevance:
- Essential features of lean construction include a clear set of objectives for the delivery process, aimed at maximizing performance for the customer at the project level, concurrent design, construction, and the application of project control throughout the life cycle of the project from design to delivery.
- An increasing number of construction academics and professionals have been storming the ramparts of conventional construction management in an effort to deliver better value to owners while making real profits.
The methodology can be adopted:
(1) Identify and deliver value to the customer value: eliminate anything that does not add value.
(2) Organize production as a continuous flow.
(3) Perfect the product and create reliable flow through distributing information and decision making;
(4) Pursue perfection: Deliver on order a product meeting customer requirements with nothing in inventory.
