  • Abstract:
  • The productivity of the construction industry worldwide has been declining over the past 40 years. One approach for improving the situation is using lean construction. Lean construction results from the application of a new form of production management to construction. Essential features of lean construction include a clear set of objectives for the delivery process, aimed at maximizing performance for the customer at the project level, concurrent design, construction, and the application of project control throughout the life cycle of the project from design to delivery. An increasing number of construction academics and professionals have been storming the ramparts of conventional construction management in an effort to deliver better value to owners while making real profits. As a result, lean-based tools have emerged and have been successfully applied to simple and complex construction projects. In general, lean construction projects are easier to manage, safer, completed sooner, and cost less and are of better quality. Significant research remains to complete the translation to construction of lean thinking in several areas of construction. Sanitation facilities in India even to date remain space and costly and hence un-available to the major Indian population. Hence development of low cost and durable sanitation facility enclosures, which is an important application of the lean construction concepts and methodologies and is more prevalent, proved that it could enhance the construction management practices in various aspects. Also, it is intended to develop methodology for process evaluation and define areas for improvement based on lean approach principles. This project identifies the modular construction methods and u-boot technology of casting concrete as the methods of lean construction. The project work will include the design development and testing of permutations of the above said methods and thereby proving their effectiveness in terms of cost saving, time saving and durability.
