Research
- International
Group for Lean Construction -
This group makes up a network of like-minded construction professionals
and researchers, who feel that the practice, education and research
of construction have to be radically renewed in order to respond
to the challenges ahead. We call our vision Lean Construction.
Annual conferences are the main activity of the Group. The group
has an e-mail list, to which everybody interested may subscribe.
There is also an e-mail discussion group on the theory of production
control in construction. A bibliography on Lean Construction is
provided. A number of related Web services are also presented.
- Lean Construction Institute (LCI)-
The Lean Construction Institute (LCI) is founded
to develop and share knowledge regarding the management of production
on architectural/engineering/construction (AEC) projects.
