Lean modular integrated construction manufacturing: operation based production process optimization

Simulation and Optimization of Production Control for Lean Manufacturing Transition

Title of Document: SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF PRODUCTION CONTROL FOR LEAN MANUFACTURING TRANSITION Sean M. Gahagan, Ph.D., 2008 Directed By: Associate Professor Jeffrey W. Herrmann, Department of Mechanical Engineering Lean manufacturing is an operations management philosophy that advocates eliminating waste, including work-in-process (WIP) inventory. A common mechanism for controlling WIP ...

Lean production in construction

In manufacturing, great gains in performance have been realized by a new production philosophy, which leads to "lean production". This new production philosophy is a generalization of such partial approaches as JIT, TQM, time-based competition, and concurrent engineering. In construction, lean production is little known. The concepts, principles and methods of lean production are reviewed, and ...

Beyond manufacturing: The evolution of lean production 95 Beyond manufacturing: The evolution of lean production

Lean principles were originally developed in industrial operations as a set of tools and practices that managers and workers could use to eliminate waste and inefficiency from production systems—reducing costs, improving quality and reliability, and speeding up cycle times. Toyota Motor pioneered lean practices, and much of their allure today stems from the fact that the phenomenal performance ...
