Finding the way to success in implementing Lean Construction in an unfavourable context
When it comes to lean implementation, the operational attributes of developing countries can cause significant impacts on priorities, tools and techniques. This paper took Iranian construction as a sample and sought to identify and prioritise the factors that could significantly contribute to the success of lean implementation in its context.
Conference paper
Reducing handoffs between sequential trades: a simulation
This paper discusses the development of a lean simulation that explores the advantages of reducing the number of handoffs on a construction project while still acknowledging the benefits of small batching.
Conference paper
Divergent beliefs about productivity despite concurrent engineering and pull planning: a case study
Increased productivity is one of the benefits expected when design work in construction is carried out as concurrent engineering using techniques as pull planning. The purpose of this paper is to discuss whether the collaborative work processes concurrent engineering and pull planning ensure a homogeneous understanding of productivity.
