Abstract
Purpose: Architectural and engineering facilities poses difficult management problems which has left the construction industries with waste and non-value adding activities and the clients have not been able to pull value from projects handled by contractors. It is against this background that this research was carried out for project managers to know how to apply lean construction principles and techniques to deliver their projects without waste, reduce project abandonment and abortion and for effective project delivery.
Material and Methods: The research was carried out using primary and secondary data and subsequently analyzed. The data was presented using tables and charts
Findings: It was observed that the principles of lean construction which promotes, the elimination of waste and non-value adding activities in processes, to engineering and design is unknown to our construction industries. Many of the construction firms are skeptical about the principal ad are not ready to entertain the techniques involved.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: It is recommended that the principle of lean construction be introduced and practiced by the construction firms so they may concentrate on how projects will bring value to the client.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Project Management is recognized as a premier publication in the field of project management and organization studies. Our main objective is to contribute to the advancement of project management and project organizing through the publication of groundbreaking research.
We are dedicated to presenting fresh insights and new knowledge in various domains, including project management, program management, portfolio management, project-oriented organizations, project networks, and project-oriented societies. We actively encourage submissions that explore project management and organizing from the perspectives of organizational behavior, strategy, supply chain management, technology, change management, innovation, and sustainability.
By publishing high-quality research articles and reviews, we strive to revolutionize the academic landscape and propel the field of project management forward. We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners to contribute to our journal and be a part of the progressive development in this exciting field.
