Improve implementing mega building envelope upon arriving material using lean six sigma : case study

Abstract EN

The functional performance of a building envelope depends on the correctspecifications of the individual components that make up the envelope mountingsystem, the quality of manufacture of these components, and thus the installationstandard.

Good performance also requires a high degree of interaction betweenbuilding envelope installations.

This interaction requires identifying activities that complement each other, and thus the strength and willingness of those wanted to request a "whole buildingenvelope".

Therefore, well-installed envelope can ensure that occupants haveproductive and healthy indoor environments.

This paper proposed a methodology by integration three different framework(Lean, Six-Sigma and mega building envelope installation) during a systematicapproach to improve building envelope installation and eliminate redundant timeand materials, upon arriving material to the site.

Our aim was to demonstrate through a project in hotel towers in Egypt inCairo - Maadi (upon the arrival of mega enveloping materials for construction)that the methodology has the potential to reduce material waste, time duration, andpotential savings while integrating (Lean, Six Sigma framework using their tools)In the framework of implementing the mega building envelope upon arrival ofmaterials} inspired by the work and practices of various building envelopescompanies.
