“…The experts who were interviewed examined the causes identified in the literature and confirmed their applicability in the construction industry. Although in the literature volume incentives are considered responsible for SASBE 13,2 overproduction (Domingo, 2013), the study findings confirm that volume incentives are applicable to the manufacturing and automobile industries but not the construction industry. Panigrahi (2019) indicated that the lack of planning and communication has critically affected the generation of most types of waste in the construction industry.…”

“…Therefore, to assess the applicability of ERP functions to minimise lean waste, identification of the origination of different categories of waste in construction projects was necessary. Although studies conducted by Domingo (2013), Arunagiri and Gnanavelbabu (2014) and Sable and Dakhore (2014) identified the causes of Lean waste generation, the focus of those studies was on the manufacturing and automobile industries. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the causes of waste generation in the construction industry.…”

“…Similarly, Aravindh et al (2022) discovered that waiting time and defects have the greatest negative impact on construction projects. According to Domingo (2013), the cause of "volume incentives" (C1.02) drives overproduction. Volume incentives are considered additional commissions paid to staff by clients to generate sales.…”

PurposeIn a conventional sense, information technology has frequently been considered a source of Lean waste management. However, as the corporate world evolves, new models that provide a competitive edge by merging technical breakthroughs with the Lean paradigm must be developed. Enterprise resource planning (ERP), which is such technological advancement, is found to be highly influential for Lean implementation. However, there is a dearth of literature on the adaptability of ERP to minimise Lean waste in the construction industry. This paper, therefore, aims to investigate the possibility of applying ERP to minimise Lean waste in the construction industry.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a qualitative approach, consisting of fifteen (15) expert interviews and code-based content analysis was used to analyse the empirical data.FindingsThe findings revealed the challenges faced when applying ERP with the Lean concept and the strategies that would help overcome the challenges. Most of the challenges could be overcome through training and awareness programmes and proper team management. The study also found that ERP could be applied with Lean to eliminate waste generation in the construction industry.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the theory by providing an evaluation of the possibility of adopting ERP to eliminate Lean waste in the construction industry. The study will contribute to new knowledge related to strategies for proper use of ERP for Lean waste minimisation, which will be useful for future researchers in the area.
