“…(2016) explored the efficacy of LC in residential projects and found a 25% reduction in project schedules. Dallasega et al . (2016) observed an 8% labor-saving compared to the initial estimate when LC practices like the Last Planner System (LPS) and pull approach were applied in a hospital expansion project.…”

PurposeLean construction (LC) is an innovative approach in the construction industry that has shown significant success in developed countries. Although LC has potential in the construction sector of Pakistan, it has not been extensively explored. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by identifying and predicting current lean practices and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of LC implementation in Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachUsing robust statistical methods to analyze 92 valid responses, the study reveals that approximately 54% of lean practices are currently in use in the construction industry of Pakistan, with a population mean ranging from 52.7% to 55.6%.FindingsSurprisingly, the research identifies instances where some construction firms in Pakistan are implementing LC practices, even though they have only a limited understanding of its underlying principles. Notably, certain subprinciples, such as visual management, top management commitment to change, employee training, process cycle time reduction and production optimization, are less integrated within the construction industry. Exploring the possibility of implementing LC, recommendations for strategies to implement LC in Pakistan are suggested, aligning with the conceptual model proposed by the researchers.Originality/valueThe novelty of this work offers insights that can serve as a comprehensive guide for developing nations. It provides a structured approach to assess and benchmark LC practices, which, in turn, can contribute to a more efficient and effective construction industry. Moreover, the strategies proposed in this research can aid developing countries in the efficient implementation of LC. This will have a positive implication for both economic and developmental outcomes.

“…Building Information Modeling (BIM) is interpreted as a methodology rather than as a tool to enable the digital modeling of a building. The application of BIM in supporting construction processes has been documented in large-scale high-rise buildings like multi-residential houses [10] or medium-to-large-scale health-care projects [11,12]. The three-dimensional visualization of the building ensures a better comprehension of the construction sequence.…”

In the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, many efforts have provided remarkable contributions to construction planning and control processes during work execution. Nevertheless, frequent coordination issues among stakeholders and difficulties in dealing with unexpected events can be explained by the complexity featuring the construction sector. Several approaches to deal with this issue were investigated in the manufacturing area, among which this paper looks at the holonic approach as one of the most promising strategies. This study first analyzes the more fragmented and dynamic nature of the construction industry as compared with the manufacturing one. Secondly, it suggests developing a process-based holonic construction management system based on building information modeling (BIM) and a conceptual architecture for manufacturing control called Product Resource Order Staff Architecture (PROSA). The process-based paradigm ensures exploiting the benefits of BIM towards the development of sustainable and efficient regeneration methods of the built environment. Subsequently, a first management system prototype was developed and tested for the purpose of renovation works management. For the first time, results from an actual implementation of PROSA were applied to a real construction site, and its feasibility was assessed using the data on the field. Key performance indicators (KPIs) evaluated during the onsite demonstration confirmed a good performance of PROSA and the presented holonic approach, which contributed to the overall success of the energy efficient refurbishment project.

“…Although production planning is common with products oriented industries but not limited in practice to only such organizations. It is a fact that production planning model has proven to be very useful in construction industries too [8][9][10][11][12].…”

Based on the objectives set out for a Sawmill, a goal programming model was developed to simultaneously consider the production volumes goal, sales revenue goal, production cost goal, and machine utilization goal in order to develop its production plans for a horizon. The unwanted deviations from the goals served as the objective function to be optimized subject to the goals constraints, operational constraints, and non-negativity constraints. Three independent pre-emptive goal priority structures, GP1, GP2, and GP3, were considered with each prioritizing the objectives differently. The goal programming model was tested for its utility using data gathered from the mill to the three-goal priority structures. The results obtained indicated that, for GP1, the product volume goals for all products were achieved, and all but one, volume goals were achieved for both GP2 and GP3. The viability test showed that all priority structures used were profitable with GP1, GP2, and GP3 recording 1.099, 1.102, and 1.095 respectively. This indicates that the three priority structures considered are approximately profitable at the same level. The goal programming model for production planning offers the decision-maker a variety of options as to its application.
