Lean is in

In this blog, I'll introduce the latest fad in the construction industry.

Lean thinking means more output with less effort, less time, less space and less equipment. You get the idea, right?

Given the market conditions, lean construction is the order of the day.

Like how recession streamlined processes in many industries by making efficiency the key, recession has brought in lean construction into the construction industry that had for a long time required such check!

Lean construction refers to streamlined and efficient construction operations and construction enterprise management arrangements that make construction process more robust.

Lean construction concept brings with it,
Shorter construction periods
Improved designs
Reduced costs, less waste
Improved safety and health
Improved quality, fewer defects
Productivity gains
Satisfied customers
:)

Next, we'll see more on this.

  1. Looking forward to it. I would love to hear about lean jobs in India - what is happening? what is different? how are the relationships among the workers different because of lean? who is doing the planning? what type of lean tools from manufacturing are being used... like visual management, just in time delivery, etc.

    Best wishes,
    Matthew
