Model of the lean production system. Lean manufacturing or lean production, often simply lean, is a systematic method for the elimination of waste (Muda) within a manufacturing system. Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden (Muri) and waste created through unevenness in work loads (Mura).
Lean construction is a âway to design production systems to minimize waste of materials, time, and effort in order to generate the maximum possible amount of value, (Koskela et al.2002).hile lean construction is identical to lean production in spirit, it is different in how it was conceived as well as how it is practiced. There is a view that adaptation of Lean Manufacturing/Production forms the basis of Lean Construction.
