How to Begin a Lean Journey: A Practical Guide to Using Lean Construction Practices on Projects

Abstract

The move to lean construction is a lengthy process that may call into question
established ways of construction management delivery. The objective of this
paper is to help businesses take the first step on this route by introducing a few
lean manufacturing techniques and practices that may be used on projects over
the next few weeks. Although the construction industry has come a long way
since its start, the essential technology to change it has not yet found a home. The
digital switch has now entered the construction industry to boost production.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a discipline of computer science described as the
potential of machines to mimic intelligent human behavior by modeling
traditionally complicated problems using human-inspired techniques. Due to its
complexity, AI distinguishes itself from lower degrees of digitalization. The
complexity of artificial intelligence involves the formation of new circumstances
for human collaboration and trust. This dissertation investigates the application
of artificial intelligence and the suitable interac- tion between humans and AIbased
technologies. This study attempts to shed light on how the con- struction
industry may close the gap between the potential and actual benefits of artificial
intelligence deployment. Comparing the prospective benefits of AI
implementation to the present benefits and challenges of AI deployment in the
construction industry revealed the disparity.
