Review on LEAN principles to eliminate obstacles in the Indian Construction Industry

Abstract

Lean construction is a result of attempts to adapt and implement the Japanese Lean production concept in the building sector. Lean building is a convergence of concepts such as waste removal, flattening of organizational structures, resource efficiency, and cooperative supply chains. Lean Construction is currently being discussed in India in light of the adoption of Lean Production in the manufacturing sector and the growth of the discipline in nations like Brazil, Denmark, and the USA. The study's goal is to identify the obstacles to the effective adoption of lean construction in the Indian construction industry.According to the findings, "their lack of a long-term philosophy," "the absence of a lean culture in their organizations," "the use of multi-layer subcontracting," and other factors are among the most significant obstacles to the adoption of lean principles, according to Indian building professionals.
