Abstract
Lean principles are positively impacting the construction sector globally. Significant improvements in operational efficiencies of construction organizations are being reported in USA, UK, Brazil, Scandinavia, Australia and other countries. Academic and practitioner communities are engaged in furthering the use of Lean principles all around the world. Indian construction sector has been exploring the use of Lean principles but implementation has largely remained experimental. Example projects are available in India that showcase convincingly the benefits that can be reaped by the Indian construction sector.
Introduction
The theme of this Conference is to evolve the Lean Construction towards Mature Production Management across Cultures and Frontiers.
Need For Study
Delays are common in construction sites
The specific reason for delays are often unknown.
Interface issues
Objectives
To measure the delays due to interface issues in construction site.
To illustrate coordination delays can be minimized using Last Planner
Contracts
Methods
Lean principles are positively impacting the construction sector globally. Significant improvements in operational efficiencies of construction organizations are being reported in USA, UK, Brazil, Scandinavia, Australia and other countries.
Academic and practitioner communities are engaged in furthering the use of Lean principles all around the world. Indian construction sector has been exploring the use of Lean principles but implementation has largely remained experimental.
Example projects are available in India that showcase convincingly the benefits that can be reaped by the Indian construction sector. The recent IITM-ILCE Lean Training & Implementation Program 2013 implemented in nine Indian sites, convincingly demonstrated the advantages to be gained by adopting Lean principles in Indian construction.
