“…2.2.2 Lean tools for planning and control practices. As shown in Table 2, lean tools for planning and control practices suggested by previous studies are last planner system, work structuring and scheduling, location-based management system, benchmarking, 6 sigma, value stream mapping (VSM), daily cluster or huddle meeting, pull scheduling/planning, error proofing (Poka-yoke), bottom neck analysis, line balancing, continuous flow, multiprocess handling and FIFO line (Ansah and Sorooshian, 2017;Babalola et al, 2019;Aslam et al, 2020b). Among these tools, last planner system, which is considered as an efficient lean tool for construction planning and control improvement, facilitates the collaborations of SC actors to formulise effective coordination, construction planning and project delivery (Perez and Ghosh, 2018).…”

“…The LC tools, for example, last planner system and VDC, are the most implemented lean practices, which aim at different economic, social and environmental benefits (Babalola et al, 2019). Besides, LC practices help to reduce the process variability, maintain material flow, leverage continuous improvements, have better visualisation and Prospect of lean practices customer focus, improve communication and so on (Aslam et al, 2020b). Thus, LC practices play critical role in improving CSC performance and ensuring project success.…”

Purpose To deal with the present situation and recover after the COVID-19 pandemic, construction firms are required to recognise the trends in construction supply chain management (CSCM) for the upcoming years and determine the appropriate practices towards the trends for the improvement of construction activities in terms of strategy, tactic and operations. This paper aims to recognise key trends in CSCM and uses these trends as strategic criteria for the evaluation and prioritisation of lean construction (LC) tools at different project phases including design and architectural engineering, planning and control, on-site construction and safety management. Design/methodology/approach The integrated analytic hierarchy process–Delphi method is used to collect and analyse the data from construction experts to evaluate the importance levels of the CSCM trends and recommend the appropriate tools for LC practices to improve project performances. Findings Seven key CSCM trends are identified: lean supply chain management (SCM), supply chain (SC) integration, SC standardisation, SC problem-solving, SC information-sharing, SC flexibility and SC sustainability. Based on these trends, a set of prioritised lean tools are suggested for LC practices, in which “virtual design construction” (VDC) and “last planner system” are considered as the central tools. These two LC practices can be integrated with other effective tools to support the strategic, tactical and operational targets in construction supply chain (CSC) projects. Research limitations/implications This study gives the managerial implications by developing an application framework of LC practices for CSC projects. The framework promotes “VDC” as a strategic tool for the phase of design and architectural engineering and considers “last planner system” as the central LC practice for the phase of project planning and control. The framework also focuses on the improvement of efficiency in construction operations by taking into account the aspects of on-site collaboration, problem-solving, improvement and safety. Originality/value Up to date, there is still a lack of researches in classifying and prioritising the significant LC tools for each project phase to deal with CSC issues in both breadth and depth. Thus, this study is performed to provide construction managers with the awareness of CSCM trends on which they can focus to have strategic criteria for selecting LC practices to improve CSC performances.

“…After master plan of the project we prepare the Phase Scheduling of the project. It involves the division of the master plan into separate phases of the comprehensive development plan and sets out priorities that can be considered goals by the project team [14]. Phase planning covers the gap between master plan and look-ahead planning.…”

Construction projects generally face delays and other time-related uncertainties. They involve various risk factors that impact time objectives and may lead to time-overrun. Delays usually trigger due to weak communication, unclear project requirements, and regular misunderstandings in the construction industry. Collaboration problems are one of the significant factors influencing the low-productivity and efficiency in the construction industry. The continuous deterioration of profit margins because of project delays and increased competition, construction contractors have to minimize waste for maximize profit. Lean construction philosophy helps to eliminate waste. Due to the triumph of lean production system in the manufacturing sector, the construction industry has adapted lean procedures to minimize waste and increase profit.

“…Lean construction is an organizational method designed to reduce waste, maintain flow, decrease cost, enhance quality and safety on construction projects (Aslam et al, 2020a;2020b;Innella et al, 2019;Ghanadiof, 2017;Srinivasan et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2019). One practical solution to minimize death and injuries at construction workplaces is applying lean techniques such as the 5S system.…”

The 5S lean tool is one of the most common lean construction techniques, which can lead to safe work environments if used effectively on project sites. The purpose of this study is to provide a checklist to maximize the outcomes of the 5S approach concerning safety requirements. A grounded theory technique was used to analyze the interview data. Eighteen electrical construction experts with the snowball of construction workers, safety representatives, supervisors, site and project managers were interviewed. Ultimately, the present study simplifies 5S implementation for first-time users and outperforms the outputs of the existing users. It is expected that the presented 5S checklist will provide practical actions for safer construction sites.
