Recommendation

Large construction projects, such as “power plant and oil platform construction, civil and structural engineering, shipbuilding and railway network construction and maintenance,” generally experience scheduling delays and cost overruns. Christian Greiser, Roland Haslehner, Santiago Castagnino, Armin Lohr, Pascal Engel and Ailke Heidemann at The Boston Consulting Group analyze why the increasing complexity of large construction projects is negatively affecting productivity and profits, and they explain how a lean approach can help. getAbstract recommends this report all those involved in the management of large construction projects.

Take-Aways

  • The increasing complexity of managing and executing large construction projects negatively  affects builders’ productivity and profits.
  • Contractors who have embraced and implemented a lean approach find it helps retain control of the construction process.
  • The lean approach’s four “lean principles” empower contractors to zero in on and execute the activities that “create the greatest value” for their customers.
