Liu, G; Ma, Z; Li, J; Li, S; Zhou, X and Song, Y (2024) Framework of digital lean construction and implementation of its management platform for the construction phase. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 150(6): 04024051, ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
In order to solve the problem of lack of appropriate tools in the lean construction of construction projects, a framework of digital lean construction is proposed as a whole, and its management platform is implemented for construction phase by integrating lean construction with digital technologies. The concept of digital lean construction is proposed, its management model is constructed and refined, and the corresponding management platform is implemented for the construction phase. The framework is verified by holding an expert workshop and applying the management platform to typical construction projects. The research contributes not only to the establishment of the theoretical foundation to upgrade lean construction, but also to accelerating the transition from lean construction to smart lean construction. Two directions of future research are expected, i.e., to enhance the integration of the lean tools and digital technologies and clarify the transition to smart lean construction.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
