Abstract

Lean Construction is a new construction management paradigm. Lean Construction brings forward a challenge and an implication for traditional material delivery system. The rationale of Lean Construction is to create short-term schedules based on a constraint analysis of resources for project tasks. This approach has two requirements for material deliveries namely transparency of material availability and short response times in the supply chain. The paper proposes a potential solution for managing the material logistics of construction projects. The empirically validated solution proposes a shipment tracking-based approach to provide inventory transparency and a pro-active delivery approach for efficient material deliveries.
