Improving Project Management at the Design Phase by Applying Lean Six Sigma as a Troubleshooting System

Abstract

Is it possible to create a flexible project management system that can support both mandatory and optional improvements? The purpose of this study is to examine how well the lean six-sigma tools work when used to manage construction projects and whether they require any modifications. The data were gathered to investigate the six-sigma principles. Surveys were conducted to determine the issues that have the greatest impact on project management. Interviews were done to collect data for the case studies, which were used to evaluate the framework's applicability and to highlight its flaws. The findings of this article were that the project management could benefit from the data techniques and tools of lean six sigma in decision-making processes and will help us uncover and minimize problems early, which will improve the efficiency of construction project management and management systems, but that these tools would need to be modified to fit the project management system. Due to the nature of construction projects, which makes each one unique, unlike the manufacturing process, this is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Unlike prior articles, the findings of this one advocate utilizing lean six sigma as a troubleshooting system to help solve project management issues.
