Lean construction and BIM in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in construction: a systematic literature review

Abstract: Lean construction (LC) and building information modeling (BIM) are two of the prominent concepts challenging the traditional practices in construction management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often constitute the largest group in construction supply chains. Increasing BIM and LC adoption amongst SMEs is a key condition for achieving the transformation of the construction industry through BIM and LC. The paper presents a systematic literature review of the adoption of (i) LC, (ii) BIM, and (iii) bo… Show more

“…As discussed by Kululanga (2012) and Ranadewa et al (2018), external environment can assist the SMCs to build the required lean enabling human capacities. Similar to the findings offered by Tezel et al (2019), the suggestion to form a steering committee at sectorial/national level to look into lean implementation at SMCs is emphasised by the findings of this research. Government financial assistance to SMCs for organising and attending workshops, conferences and seminars is necessary to build the required knowledge, communication, critical thinking, team working and leadership skills.…”

“…Small and Medium Contractors (SMCs) have recognised that increase of non-value adding activities (NVAA) as a major challenge in construction industry (Tezel, Koskela & Aziz, 2017;Ranadewa, Sandanayake & Siriwardena, 2018), thereby highlighting the importance of SMCs in implementing lean . However, implementation of lean by SMCs is not free from barriers (Ankomah, Ayarkwa & Agyekum, 2020;Tezel et al, 2019;Rymaszewska, 2014;Shang & Pheng, 2014). On the other hand, prior research Koskela, Howell, Ballard and Tommelein, (2014); Aziz & Hafez, (2013); Alves, Azambuja and Arnous, (2016) point out the need of enhancing human capacities for successful lean implementation.…”

“…This review, therefore, differs from other reviews about BIM and Lean [12,24] in its integrative nature, which resulted in the inference of a new conceptual model for integration and its focus on the Last Planner ® System instead of dealing with the field of lean construction in general. The scope is limited to the execution phase, because Lean has started in the construction phase and is now moving towards lean design management [25], while BIM is widely accepted as a design method, hence first standards and norms exist for this phase [26].…”

“…Lean thinking introduces five main principles: (i) identify the value and eliminate all non-value adding activities, (ii) identify the value stream from the customer perspective, (iii) continuously maintain the value stream, (iv) let the customer pull, and (v) strive for perfection through continuous improvement [12,13]. These principles are designed to help organizations create and sustain value in the most efficient manner [14].…”
