Study of Lean Technique in Construction

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this analysis is testing the 1. usefulness of some lean construction tools, particularly, all those tools which may be utilized in medium size construction firms. Because of the results of the lean manufacturing process in 2. production, the building business has taken lean techniques to eliminate waste as well as increase revenue. This analysis offers a 3. historical past of evolution of philosophies and production 4. practices through the building sector from the standard methods 5. to present lean production. The variations in production concepts, the limits of theirs, plus the impacts of theirs in the building business may also be assessed. A field study is performed to assess the usefulness of some lean construction methods such as last planner, improved visualization, daily huddle meetings, first run reports, the 5s process, as well as fail protected for highly effective project management and site implementation.. The information collection techniques included direct observations, questionnaires, interviews, and documentary analysis. The usefulness of the lean construction equipment is examined from the lean implementation measurement standard & performance requirements. Results confirmed that by using lean construction reduced the amount of stages in the entire project by 57 %. The non-value extra decreased from 81 % to 14 % within the duration of the project. The entire cycle time on the project was lowered by 75 %.
