A management approach that eliminates waste and improves efficiency throughout the construction process.
Lean construction is a management philosophy adapted from lean manufacturing principles that focuses on maximizing value and minimizing waste (time, materials, effort, cost) throughout the construction process. Key tools include the Last Planner System, pull planning, takt time planning, and visual management. Lean construction improves schedule reliability, reduces defects, and increases worker engagement.
The project team used lean construction pull planning sessions to develop a collaborative phase schedule that reduced the structural steel duration by 15%.
