Lessons Learned from Managing the Design Process of a Large and Complex Construction Project Seen in a Lean Construction Perspective
2020
The construction project being studied is a government investment related to a relocation of a biomedical institute delivering research-based knowledge and contingency support in the fields of animal health, fish health and food safety. The project covers a total of 63,000 m2 distributed over 10 buildings. The buildings have a very high degree of complexity due to a large proportion of special areas, great ambitions to the minimize environmental impact in addition to strict compliance to Infection Prevention and Control in order to achieve a world class product in its field. The project is procured as a design-bid-build project divided into 40 different execution contracts. The design alone…
The emergence of lean construction in the Norwegian AEC industry
2021
Lean construction has inspired the AEC industry globally over the last decades, and this manifests within a wide array of contexts. The purpose of this paper is to provide a narrative-based qualitative analysis of the emergence and impact of Lean construction on a national level, notably in the Norwegian AEC industry. The analysis is based on the concept of paradigm shift and on empirical knowledge in the form of narratives. The narratives of practitioners and researchers provide deep insights into how Lean Construction has inspired the Norwegian AEC industry and academia, respectively. The reflections indicate that the introduction of the Lean construction principles and tools in the Norwe…
Propozycja wdrożenia koncepcji „lean construction” opartej na znormalizowanych systemach zarządzania jakością w organizacjach branży budowlanej= The …
2020
W niniejszym artykule omówiono wyniki badań dotyczące dojrzałości wdrożonych systemów zarządzania jakością w wybranych organizacjach branży budowlanej, pod kątem możliwości wdrożenia koncepcji „lean construction”. Wiele badań wskazuje na potencjalne korzyści, jakie mogą uzyskać organizacje w wyniku zastosowania zasad „lean”, np. obniżenie kosztów, zmniejszenie czasu realizacji budowy, zmniejszenie marnotrawstwa. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie propozycji [głównych zadań] wdrożenia koncepcji „lean”, opartych na znormalizowanych systemach zarządzania jakością, w organizacjach branży budowlanej. W badaniu wykorzystano analizę dokumentacji, wywiady, metodę samooceny zgodnej z ISO…
Continuous Improvement on Detailed Design Phase : A Process Perspective
2020
The construction project being studied is a government investment related to the relocation of a biomedical institute delivering research-based knowledge and contingency support in the fields of animal health, fish health and food safety. The project covers a total of 63,000 square meters distributed over 10 buildings with a very high degree of complexity. The design alone has required 1 million hours, which relates to a client cost of about 100 million Euro. The purpose of this paper is to study the applied methodology for managing the detailed design to identify lessons learned from the project. The theory underlying the study is inspired by lean design management and design theory linked…
