Leanbygging

Leanbygging is a construction methodology that applies the principles of lean manufacturing to the building process. The core objective is to maximize value for the customer while minimizing waste. This approach emphasizes continuous improvement, respect for people, and a focus on delivering what the customer truly needs.

Waste in leanbygging is defined broadly and can include overproduction, waiting times, unnecessary transportation, excess inventory, defects, over-processing, and underutilized talent. By identifying and eliminating these wastes, leanbygging aims to reduce project costs, shorten lead times, and improve overall quality. Key practices include detailed planning, visual management, pull systems for material flow, and collaborative teamwork.

The implementation of leanbygging typically involves a shift in mindset and culture within a construction organization and its project teams. It encourages open communication, problem-solving at the source, and a commitment to learning from every project. Through these efforts, leanbygging seeks to create a more efficient, predictable, and satisfying construction experience for all stakeholders.
