In the construction industry, performance is often unsatisfactory when compared to benchmarks in other industries. Many methods have been proposed to try to bridge that gap, including the idea of Lean Construction. Studies into concrete construction projects have proved that lean principles can be successfully applied at the operational and the project level. Here’s what you need to know about lean construction:
Q: What is lean construction?
A: Borrowing certain concepts from the lean manufacturing methods derived from the “Toyota Way,” lean construction uses those principles to streamline and optimize the construction process and eliminate waste.
Q: What is the difference between lean construction and traditional methods?
A: Lean construction aims to put the design and management of a project into the hands of the people who are working on the project. This prevents individuals from working at odds from the overall goal of the project and in their own interest.
Q: What are the principles of lean construction?
A: Lean construction advocates focus on three basic areas: transforming input into output with minimal waste, ensuring a smooth workflow, and maximizing value for the customer or end-user.
