Correlation between Construction Procurement Methods and Lean Principles
Different procurement methods have been developed and applied in the construction industry for improving performance. At the same time, novel management concepts have been adopted for performance improvement based on new production methodologies. The lean principle is one such methodology being applied in the construction industry. This paper proposes that with the right combination of objectives, principles and techniques, this can form the basis for a new project delivery system. The paper has as its objective the identification of an appropriate procurement method that incorporates lean principles. It reviews extant literature on the lean concept and its application in the construction industry, as well as construction procurement methods, and their individual characteristics. The study finds that partnership arrangements have a higher correlation with lean principles compared to other procurement methods because of the emphasis on collaboration and teamwork through construction partnerships.
