تطبيق منهجية البناء الخالي من الهدر في تحسين أداء مشروعات البناء في مصر: دراسة حالة بمجمع عمراني متكامل بإحدى المدن الجديدة بمصر

Abstract EN

Egypt's construction sector faces enormous challenges related to the construction phase, the most important of which is a considerable waste of effort, time, and money that may result in increasing the risk of losing projects.

indeed, eliminating such a waste will certainly improve the project performance, thereby enhancing the value of the project stakeholders.

the researcher assumes that adopting lean construction (LC) approach is necessary to reduce waste, improve performance, and enhance the performance of the Egyptian construction sector at large.

the research relies on a simplified methodology that has several positive outcomes: (1) saving time and cost; (2) boosting quality and safety; and (3) improving management process control, resource management, and relationships between project team members.

therefore, the main objective of the current paper is to examine and analyse the ability of wasteless construction principles to reduce waste in the construction process through an applied case study of a large construction project in Egypt.

the study employs lean construction (LC) methodology and utilizes its technologies and tools to reduce waste in construction, particularly at the finishing stage, measuring their effectiveness in achieving the desired goals.

the study assumes to have two major contributions: (I) determining the main causes of waste in the Egyptian construction industry; and (ii) applying LC methodology to prevent and eliminate the causes of waste inherent in the construction process.
