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.

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.

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.
