Abstract
Low productivity is the chronic problem in construction industry. One way to increase the productivity is to reduce non-value adding activities. A number of problems affecting productivity can be noted when the activities in progress on a typical construction site are closely observed. Productivity improvements achieve higher cost savings with minimal investment. Lean construction is relatively a new construction management philosophy which has evolved from Lean Manufacturing principles. Lean construction along with its various tools like Pull Approach, Just in Time (JIT), The Last Planner System (LPS), Total Quality Management (TQM), Work Sampling (WS) and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) etc. has gathered a lot of momentum in the developed nations. The challenge now lies in implementing it in the developing countries. Lean Construction is a philosophy based on the concepts of lean manufacturing. It is about managing and improving the construction process to profitably deliver what the customer needs. Because it is a philosophy, lean construction can be pursued through a number of different approaches. This Research thesis outlines the elements of lean manufacturing and suggests how these might be adapted to deliver lean construction in practice.
