Abstract

Lean Production in Construction Lauri Koskela Pages 47-54 (1993 Proceedings of the 10th ISARC, Houston, USA, ISBN 9780444815231, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: In manufacturing, great gains in performance have been realized by a new production philosophy, which leads to “lean production”. This new production philosophy is a generalization of such partial approaches as JIT, TQM, time-based competition, and concurrent engineering. In construction, lean production is little known. The concepts, principles and methods of lean production reviewed, and their applicability in construction is analysed. The implications of lean production to construction practice and research are considered.
