“…The construction industry has grappled with persistent issues of waste, occurring throughout the construction process, material management, and design and planning phases. These wasteful practices significantly contribute to cost overruns and, at times, lead to project delays due to disrupted cash flows [1,2]. Furthermore, the construction sector has been slow to embrace effective change management approaches, exacerbating the issue [3,4].…”

Construction projects frequently encounter challenges such as stagnant productivity, excessive waste, cost overruns, and delays, contributing to sustainability issues. In response to these issues, Lean Construction (LC) has emerged as a methodology aimed at eradicating inefficiencies and wasteful practices. However, the construction industry has been slow to embrace LC, primarily due to a lack of comprehensive evaluations regarding its real-world effectiveness. This study seeks to thoroughly assess the effectiveness of LC when implemented in construction projects in Pakistan. The research involved conducting a survey among experts in the construction industry, utilizing a comprehensive questionnaire to evaluate the extent of LC adoption and its impact on construction project performance. The collected data underwent rigorous statistical analysis to ascertain the influence of LC practices on project outcomes. To validate the survey results, the study selected five case study projects for in-depth analysis. These case studies assessed how well the projects adhered to LC principles and examined the resulting effects on project delays, cost overruns, quality issues, rework, and health-related concerns. The findings consistently confirmed that a higher level of adherence to LC principles led to significant reductions in project delays, cost overruns, quality issues, and health-related problems. This analysis strongly supports the notion that a more extensive adoption of LC practices results in substantial improvements in project performance. By presenting these compelling results, this study offers valuable insights to the construction industry, providing a clearer path for the effective integration of LC practices.

Growing demands for variability, reducing losses and increasing production efficiency bring difficult tasks for business management. In order to cope with increasingly demanding tasks, a good knowledge of effective management methods is required, as well as orientation in a wide range of application programs. One of the approaches dealing with reducing losses and streamlining selected processes is the introduction of the Lean philosophy. This philosophy is firmly embedded in the concept of Industry 4.0 and its principles are proving to be highly effective. In the presented contribution, we will focus on the possibilities of reducing losses by implementing selected Lean principles in conjunction with selected program resources and elements of mixed reality. The goal is to create an intelligent mobile application that, based on a simulation model, would enable an in-depth analysis of selected processes from the aspect of material value stream mapping analysis. The model created in this way could serve as a relevant basis for top management in the search for solutions to optimize processes. In the article, we evaluate selected Lean methods, create a workplace simulation model using the PLM simulation tool Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, and the obtained data are presented in an intelligent mobile application based on augmented reality. After the online update, the created application conveys all required relevant information to managers and simplifies their decision-making process.
