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.

精益施工：项目经理的作用

目的：建筑和工程设施带来了棘手的管理问题，使建筑行业存在浪费和非增值活动，客户无法从承包商处理的项目中获得价值。本研究正是在这一背景下开展的，目的是让项目经理了解如何应用精益建造原则和技术来交付项目，避免浪费，减少项目放弃和流产，并有效交付项目。材料和方法：研究使用了第一手数据和第二手数据，随后进行了分析。数据使用表格和图表进行展示：研究发现，精益建造原则提倡在工程和设计过程中消除浪费和非增值活动，但我们的建筑行业并不了解精益建造原则。许多建筑公司对精益建造的原理持怀疑态度，不愿意接受其中涉及的技术。对理论、实践和政策的影响：建议建筑公司引入并实践精益建造原则，以便专注于如何为客户带来项目价值。

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.
