Abstract

The applications of the lean production philosophy in precast concrete factories have been discussed in Chaps. 7 and 8. Significant results can be obtained when the lean production philosophy is applied to reduce carbon emissions in precast concrete factories. The non-value adding activities from the lean perspective in the construction sites were identified in Chap. 9. The purpose of this case study is therefore to investigate how the lean production principles can be used in construction sites to identify and eliminate wastes. These wastes are also quantified using carbon emissions as the indicator in this case study.
