Lean Construction.
The problems of the construction industry seem to be chronic and well known which are: inferior working conditions, low productivity, poor quality, and insufficient safety. For a long time, industrialization ( such as modularization, prefabrication, … etc.) was known as one of the directions to solve these problems. That was not the only solution but it was one of the several trials to overcome the consequences of these problems. Manufacturing was a reference point for construction in generating new ideas and innovations. Industrialization, automation, and computer integration these approaches imported from manufacturing to the construction industry to develop and enhance the performance of the projects. Lean construction as a new philosophy based also on the principles of lean manufacturing but will have a greater influence in construction than automation and other innovations.
