“…[20] recommended that green should be incorporated upstream in the supply chain, i.e. in the product design phase [21]. [18] stated the lean construction principles as: specifying value from the customers' view, identifying the value stream, making the valuecreating flow, achieving customer pull at the right time and pursuing perfection for continuous improvement.…”

“…Value stream mapping focuses on material and information flow. LPS supports the lean goals by making a planning mutual attempt and by increasing the reliability of team members' commitments [36] as cited from [21]. These lean tools can support the planning for smooth and continuous workflow keeping wastes as low as possible supporting sustainability.…”

The world's habitat is being deteriorated despite of the precautions taken. Construction industry is among the industries which highly effect the environment adversely not only through its outputs but also through the construction process and its inputs. The main focus in dealing with the reduction of its footprint has been on sustainable building certificates which mainly analyse the output of the construction activies. There is need to analyse the construction supply chain as a whole and to embed sustainability dynamics in construction supply chain management. Lean construction project management contributes to the reduction of the environmental footprint of the construction industry, enabling reduction in waste, and increasing value added activities. For this reason, based on an in depth literature review, this paper analyses and establishes the principles of the integration of the sustainability dynamics into lean construction supply chain management.

“…This enables organizations to decrease costs, dispose of waste and convey extends on time and it isn't tied in with trimming everything deep down and crushing more out of what is left [7] [2]. Lean development is the down to earth use of lean assembling standards, or lean reasoning, to the building condition [8], [9]Advantages of the new generation theory as far as efficiency, quality, and markers were sufficiently strong by and by with a specific end goal to improve the fast dissemination of the new standards [9]. The lean reasoning is tied in with: Getting work to stream dependably and typically on a development site requires the flawless arrangement of the whole production network in charge of built offices to such an extent that esteem is boosted and squander is limited.…”

Abstract. Objectives of a lean production system (LPS) is to maximise value and minimise waste, by applying specific lean tools and techniques such as 5S, LPS, JIT, VSM, PULL, Kaizen, Six Sigma and many others techniques in a new production process. LPS is a philosophy based on the lean principles developed in Toyota by [1] [2] named as lean manufacturing principles and further developed as lean philosophy [3]. The main benefits of utilising 5S are identified from the literature review and a structured questionnaire is prepared. The data is collected using convenient sampling technique from the professionals working in the industry. The collected data is analysed using different tools and techniques. A total of 9 benefits were identified from the literature review and the expert opinion from the industry. The findings of the study contribute to the existing body of knowledge and lay down few suggestions to the industry for implementing 5S in the Indian context. The findings of the study conclude that the lean principles support the Indian manufacturing industry to improve productivity, quality, and reduction in cycle time The study is conducted using primary data collection and the sample size is small (86).
