“…According to [14] and [15] it is a philosophy, with the business goal of increasing process capability, decreasing process variability, and with the main goal of removing defects from business processes]. It is a framework for process quality improvements according to [12]; a management methodology according to [32], with the goal increase process predictability by eliminating defects in order to improve and sustain quality, eliminate waste and achieve sustainable profits.…”

This article focuses on developing a framework for industrial environments to provide a structured problem-solving approach based on experimentation as a basis to assist analysts and management for strategic decision making for process improvement. The process for developing this generic framework was through an analytical process improvement process case study for a company in an industrial environment. The research methodology includes an interpretivist approach followed by a positivist approach and ends with a constructivism worldview due to the Experimental design approach design depicted by this framework. The summarized goals were, expanding Design of Experiments (DOE) as a statistical approach to complement existing methods and methodologies used for Data Mining, validate the integrity of data through a refining process and applying DOE in combination with traditional Data Mining techniques. The importance for developing this framework was to experiment with historical data, based on real process data then to predict future process behaviour, using full and fractional DOE design scenarios which allows the analyst not to have a one-dimensional analytical approach but to evaluate which design fits the data best. No risk of costly process failures due to experimenting into the unknown by utilizing historic data by applying experimentation when evaluating different processing scenarios for possible product improvement and to provide an alternative statistical approach for Data Mining in an industrial environment for screening independent and dependent variables for a DOE model.

“…Recent research shows that construction companies with an efficient organizational level are those who have started the deployment of Lean Construction by the implementation of 5S management [61]. The application of the 5S approach allows keeping the construction site more Analyze of "PPC" + PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act)…”

The growing context of globalization permanently increases pressure on the construction companies to improve their performances in order to resist to the constraints of competitiveness in the international market. It has become ineluctable to look for introducing a new alternative capable of bringing creative improvement to the traditional production system. This paper will relate mainly to the most relevant management techniques in the construction industry, and more specifically, the lean construction concept. Initially, we will determine the main characteristics of the construction industry compared to the manufacturing industry according to three levels: on-site production, one of a kind projects, and complexity. Subsequently, we will focus our attention on the main sources of waste in the construction industry. Finally, a rigorous comparative study will be carried out to show the contribution of the lean construction tools in the promotion of traditional construction especially at the level of the following factors: Creating value and eliminating waste; Planning and mutual coordination; Site organization. Lean construction as Last Planner System (LPS), Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Just-in-Time philosophy, Visual management (VM) and 5S have shown a great ability to improve the traditional production system through waste reduction, encouraging people involvement, ensuring a pull flow production, and promotion of a continuous improvement philosophy.
