Purpose This research seeks to evaluate the impact of applying lean construction principles
on the performance of reinforcement operations using a discrete-event simulation (DES) …

Waste in the construction industry has been the subject of several research projects around
the world in recent years. Researchers implement different methods to reduce the amount of …

The construction industry includes a large number of specialized areas and disciplines, most
of which are based on cyclical processes during the construction phase. With the …

With the spread of a culture of waste reduction in the construction industry, the traditional
management system has become insufficient, so it has become crucial to implement more …

Construction transport, in general, is not carried out efficiently, resulting in unnecessary
costs and CO2 emissions. Although it has been found that there is a great potential to …

Purpose Building information modelling (BIM) claims to be spearheading the modern
technological revolution in the global construction industry. While scholars have …

The main goal of this study was to propose a new framework to assess the operational
activities of lean manufacturing (LM). Lean-related activities of supply chain drivers are less …

Abstract Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) is an event-driven simulation approach in which a
real dynamic process is imitated as it progresses over time. It has been recognized as a …

This study proposed an incorporated simulation–Taguchi model to optimize a petrol station
sales rate. In addition, it provided a regression model to forecast the sales rate. Initially …

Onhos types of waste have been used in lean construction as guidelines. However, we
argue that the lean construction community should question and rethink the definition of …
