Assessing the Environmental Impacts of Lean Supply System: A Case Study of Rebar Supply in High-Rise Condominium Construction Projects
Lean production is a systemic approach to meeting customer expectations by reducing waste. Many believe that implementing lean leads to achieving "green." The authors explore the validity of this statement. They investigate the environmental impacts of prefabrication with just-in-time (JIT) delivery on reinforced bar using a building construction case study. The results suggest that prefabrication with JIT delivery consumes less energy but emits more CO2. The study also finds that delivery batch size per truck as well as delivery distance are important factors.
