“…G, H, I) often with marks above the diagonal and called blocks should be concurrently executed. DSM helps to manage domain related information flow problems leading to reduced wastes and improved quality in design (Mota et al 2019). Nonetheless, DSM lacks production control mechanisms and therefore have been combined with other lean tools such as Last Planner System (Koskela et al 1997).…”

The positive transformation realised from lean concept application in the manufacturing industry has inspired many researchers to investigate and propose its adoption in Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry (AEC). The lean application in construction sector has received significant attention. Building up on previous recommendations regarding lean design and construction, this study explored lean thinking for Structural Engineers (SE) to identify new, efficient and innovative ways for executing structural designs and engineering works. The research study was based on qualitative research method using Systematic Literature Review (SLR). An overview of research works on lean applied to designs demonstrated lean to be a multi-dimensional concept characterised by different levels and therefore defied a universal definition. This paper therefore focused on the first part of the study where an understanding of lean was gained with respect to structural designs and was characterised with lean principles, techniques, processes, practices and tools to deliver value for customers.

“…(Brandalise et al 2018) used VM for Kanban combined with a performance board, where Farzad and Cameron (2019) used it for deliverable matrixes. Wesz et al (2018) presented a complete project VM adaption of Last Planner System (LPS) (Ballard 2000), and Mota et al (2019) instead defined the VM as part of the collaborative planning alone. Jabbari et al (2020);Singh et al (2020), on the other hand, presented digital solutions for organizing Takt zones according to work density without practical application.…”

This research paper presents a model for construction that can bridge the gap between the schedules (takt planning or location-based management) and the on-site operations using visual management (VM). The model was developed using design science. It was shaped in a modular construction environment and evaluated theoretically. The knowledge base consists of; takt planning, location-based scheduling (LBS), plan-do-check-act, and visual management. The evaluation of the model revealed that a generic model could accommodate both schedule methods and incorporate continuous learning. The discussion provided knowledge about the industrial implication and how managers could apply this in Takt or LBS planned and controlled projects. This research further contributes to the literature by extending the existing knowledge of scheduling and visual management.

“…In particular two tools were included as part of the design stage: value stream mapping and set based design. Moreover, Mota et al (2019) pointed out that there are limitations in major infrastructure projects when implementing lean design management such as: lack of collaboration, insufficient knowledge and rigidity of the organization.…”

The construction sector has been changed in different aspects since the implementation of best practices of lean construction and others. It is crucial to remark that those new methodologies have been trying to address construction issues related to the execution part but with little attention to the design stage.In Peru, the use of lean construction started as part of an initiative from the private sector and specifically in the execution part. In that sense, lean design was introduced later and always by the private sector. Little by little the public sector started to get used to lean construction. Nevertheless, in hydraulic infrastructure such as river defenses and dikes the progress of introduction lean design has been insignificant in the country. This paper describes step by step the implementation of lean design in capital projects related to hydraulic infrastructure in Peru specifically for river defenses and dikes.It is the objective of this paper to address the difficulties founded in the implementation and what strategies have been deployed in order to overcome those barriers. Two tools of lean design that were used are: set based design and value stream mapping along with concepts of change management.
