The chronic problems of construction are well-known:
1. 2. 3. 4.
low productivity, poor safety, inferior working conditions, insufficient quality.
A number of solutions or visions have been offered to relieve these problems in construction.

What is Lean Production ?

Lean production was developed by Toyota led by Engineer Ohno. Lean production looks at reducing all forms of waste throughout the production process. Lean production is a Japanese approach to management that focuses on cutting out waste, whilst ensuring quality. The conception of the new production philosophy evolved through three stages:
1. 2. 3.

It was viewed as a tool (like kanban and quality circles), as a manufacturing method (like JIT) and as a general management philosophy (like lean production).

Lean Production Concepts
1) Identify and deliver value to the customer value: eliminate anything that does not add value. 2) Organize production as a continuous flow. 3) Perfect the product and create reliable flow through stopping the line, pulling inventory, and distributing information and decision making. 4) Pursue perfection: Deliver on order a product meeting customer requirements with nothing in inventory.

Lean Construction
Starting Point ? The lean production philosophy that had contributed to the manufacturing industry took the attention of the people in the construction industry as well. Especially, since the early 1990s , a lean construction concept has been tried to be created and promoted by means of institutes, governmental reports, construction management scholars, some occupational organizations and so on. Lean construction accepts the Ohnos production system design criteria as a standard of perfection.

Definition of Lean Construction

The Lean Construction Institute (2004) defines the term lean construction as: Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery - a new way to design and build capital facilities. Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly. Applied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done throughout the delivery process. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system - maximize value and minimize waste to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process.

Waste in Construction
In general, waste is defined as the loss of those activities which, while they produce a cost, whether direct or indirect, do not add value or help in advancing a project.
Toyota defines waste as: Anything that is different from the minimum quantity of equipment, material, parts and labor time that is absolutely essential for production. The elimination of waste is a core focus of lean construction.

Techniques and Tools of Lean Construction

Lean construction is to move beyond the traditional view of project management as transformation, to include flow and value generation. Paez (2005) classified the operative techniques utilized in lean construction through three levels. 1. Level One: Direct application of the techniques from lean manufacturing. 2. Level Two: Modification of the techniques taken from lean manufacturing. 3. Level Three: The all-in-all lean construction specific techniques.
Although these techniques can be applied separately, their complementary nature proposes that a combined utilization of techniques will increase leanness of a construction organization.

Comparison of Traditional and Lean Project Delivery Systems

The phrase project delivery system has traditionally been used to indicate the contractual structure of the project, e.g., design-bid-build or design-build. Delivery involves designing and making capital facilities -buildings, bridges, factories, and so on.
Traditional construction projects are managed today by breaking them into pieces or activities, estimating the time and money to complete each, applying the critical-path method (CPM) to identify a logical order, and then either contracting externally or assigning internally to establish responsibility. Traditional project management attempts to manage activities by centrally applied scheduling and to control them using output measures

Conclusion
Lean construction is still, to a considerable extent, work-in-progress. However, its development to date supports two major claims: 1) Lean construction is based on a better theory than conventional construction 2) Lean construction is more effective than conventional construction Thus, lean construction is not just another specific approach to construction, but rather a challenger of the conventional understanding and practice of construction. In consequence, it is in the interest of every player in the construction sector to assess this new thinking and practice.

Conclusion
The Turkish construction industry have no or little idea about either lean production or lean construction. As a result of the master of thesis A Statistical Approach To Lean Construction Implementations Of Construction Companies In Turkey done by Tezel in 2007, the recommendations for Turkish Contractors are as the followings;

Conclusion
1) Turkish firms should increase their customer focus.
2) Turkish firms to put more effort to increase their level of organizational learning
3) Contractors also need to clearly define the expected value from a project with every party involved. 4) Maintaining continuous flow, by rearranging time and the resources, should be carefully studied by the Turkish firms.
5) The risk management techniques should be more effectively used by the Turkish firms.
6) The resources should be kept flexible, especially towards changing environmental conditions.
