“…This study concluded that it was necessary to minimize variability caused by unreliable flows (flow activities) and manage the remaining system variability by using effective labor-management strategies. Inefficient information and materials flow could lead to much waste in construction (Bajjou et al , 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the applicability of lean construction (LC) concepts and tools in necessary, but non-value-added activities (NVAA) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The application of the lean tools in this way facilitates the flow of information and handling material, improving productivity, quality and performance. Finally, practical results motivate a discussion on the real potential of LC principles and on the challenges related to its implementation. Design/methodology/approach The methodology makes use of direct involvement in the environment under study. Some of the activities performed were the value stream mapping and time and motion studies of the company’s process selected, identification of wastes and the proposition of improvements to be implemented. Findings The main findings are related to the benefits of the application of LC not only in value-added activities but in activities that can influence the development and workforce planning, especially for SME businesses. This company should be able to achieve better management decisions and results after implementing the LC principles, overcoming the limited resources. Originality/value This proposed method helps in overcoming the lack of systematic procedures, enabling LC in activities that not add value properly. It has the advantage of integrating existing tools and models effectively, which not only improve the shortcomings of the conventional methods but also result in more convenient calculation and application.

“…Waste elimination and continuous improvement are integrated throughout the construction cycle, starting from the beginning to the end of the project (Bajjou et al , 2018). They are important for the performance of construction projects during the three stages of the project (input phase, transformation phase, output phase).…”

“…The Lean philosophy was developed at the beginning of the automotive industry. Nowadays, it is starting to be more integrated into different fields (for example, the construction, health and manufacturing industries, and administration) and is considered as a new way of designing management systems in order to improve process efficiency (Garre et al, 2017;Bajjou & Chafi, 2018d;Bajjou et al, 2019).…”

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent an important component of the economy in both developed and developing countries. Nowadays, the competitive industrial environment is encouraging these companies to redesign their manufacturing practices. Lean manufacturing (LM) has been widely implemented in several industries and has been shown to have had a positive impact on the performance and development of companies. This review aims to examine this impact on the performance of manufacturing companies, to emphasize the recent progress of LM amongst SMEs worldwide, and to show that most successful LM initiatives are those implemented in SMEs and large companies. However, very small businesses (VSBs) are struggling to introduce LM into their management systems. A new approach has been developed to establish a new lean implementation framework that could be adapted to the specific context of VSBs.

“…Lean Construction (LC) in an innovative way of construction project management aiming at increasing value for clients while reducing waste, improving quality, avoiding workings accidents on constructions sites, as well as preventing negative impact on the environment. [29][30][31][32][33] Regarding the relationship between FA and LC, 71.4% of respondents consider that there is a relationship between both approaches. On the other hand, with the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic, 60.3% of the companies consider that this pandemic will not have an impact on the decision-making process regarding the applicability and integration of AM (see Figure 3 and Table 2).…”

The spread of additive manufacturing in recent years has broadened the sector of applications, namely in the construction field. This technology enables new functionalities and opportunities to be considered for the construction industry. Indeed, 3D printing processes can directly or indirectly affect the concrete material. Besides the printing processes for concrete structures, there are other indirect uses of 3D concrete printing, such as the manufacture of molds and formwork. However, its integration raises new challenges. This paper is first devoted to the state-of-the-art regarding the use of additive manufacturing in construction through a bibliographical study and an overview of various experiences in different countries. Secondly, the opportunities of such technologies for the construction sector will be discussed. Then, the issues and challenges related to the applicability and integration of concrete additive manufacturing will be highlighted. Finally, a diagnosis of the applicability and integration of concrete additive manufacturing has been made by analyzing the results of a survey of Moroccan professionals. The objective is to raise and identify key factors for successful integration.
