“…The use of VSM provides opportunities to identify production wastes and achieve improvement in the process. VSM can be linked with environmental metrics to identify the existing problems that affect environmental performance (Nguyen & Sharmak, 2022). Normally, VSM is applied on levels; starting with the current VSM, which shows the current situation and the existing bottlenecks and wastes in the process, then the future VSM, which aims to integrate changes in the process to provide improvements and waste elimination, and then, the frequent (normally yearly) VSM that aims to evaluate the progress based on the recommendations of the future VSM.…”

As one of the most important industries to face the global housing challenges, brick manufacturing can benefit from the principles of lean and the applications of Industry 4.0 to achieve better organizational, environmental, and operational performance. This study reviews the efforts made on lean-Industry 4.0 integration in brick manufacturing and proposes a framework to support this integration. The proposed framework is based on the use of digital twin (DT) technology to create dynamic and automated Value Stream Mapping (VSM). The proposed framework aims to continuously visualize, monitor, and improve the flow, value creation, and waste elimination in brick production processes. The study also reports the state of the implementation of the framework in a brick company in France as a case study. Validating and testing the framework is possible in different types of manufacturing companies; even out of the brick manufacturing sector.

“…For instance, SDM is used to investigate the LC-BIM intricate relationships among people during quantity surveying [51]. Nguyen and Sharmak used SDM to evaluate environmental performance, demonstrating how Lean methods and techniques like the Last Planner System (LPS) and Poka-Yoke reduce processing time and CO2 emissions [52]. Meshref et al proposed a decision-making framework based on SDM for managing construction material waste throughout the life cycles of industrial projects, integrating BIM and Lean design into the design phase [53].…”

Effective waste elimination is critical for the success of construction projects. Although several studies have focused on various aspects of construction waste, limited efforts have investigated the dynamic effect of Making-Do (MD) practices on productivity, rework, defects, and materials wastage. From a lean construction perspective, this study aims to address MD waste using the Last Planner System (LPS) and BIM. First, the casual structure that can cause MD in construction projects was expressed in a casual loop diagram (CLD), and thematic analysis uncovered the strategies of LPS-BIM to eliminate MD identified by reviewing the literature. Secondly, twenty-five strategies from the LPS and BIM strategies to address MD using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were assessed. Subsequently, a system dynamics model (SDM) for investigating LPS-BIM strategies on MD decisions in a construction project was formulated based on the underlying causal loop diagrams and the mathematical relations among the variables. Finally, the model was applied to three projects, and simulations for four LPS-BIM scenarios were carried out. The findings show that dynamic interactions among diverse production planning and control factors are critical in evaluating MD impacts on a construction project. The results demonstrate that the LPS-BIM approach resulted in an average 43.8% reduction in the tasks performed with MD, 45.3% of constraints, 66.5% of construction waste, increasing 13.7% completion rate, and 29.3% cost reduction, demonstrating that LPS-BIM as a more efficient solution for MD mitigation and construction planning.

Although several studies have focused on various aspects of construction waste, limited efforts have yet to investigate the dynamic effect of Making-Do (MD) practices on productivity, rework, defects, and material waste.

This study aims to guide construction planners and policymakers to better manage their production constraints by eliminating negative MD practices from their plans.
