This study looked into the principles and practices of lean management pertinent to highway construction projects to analyze whether lean management practices could improve the management efficiency for complex projects. It was found that lean management tools that are used repeatedly and the ones that require a high level of detailing are positively associated with...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of and the synergy between three trending concepts in the construction industry, namely, integrated project delivery (IPD), lean principles, and building information modeling (BIM) in terms of cost and schedule performance measures.

This paper aims to study the implementation of BIM in Facilities Management (FM), and explores the synergistic potential of a lean approach.

The article describes measures to improve the organization's activities by developing value stream maps as a basis for building lean production. Evidence is provided that the construction of a value stream map is a tool that has significant advantages over other similar tools for describing processes, with which it is possible to describe in detail...

Implementing lean construction from the lean construction community’s perspective is seen as a significant change from traditional project management and perhaps even a paradigm shift.
