Abstract:

With capital projects consistently running late and over budget in urban economics, it is time to look at project managers could do to step up their implementation success and performance. In real estate industry, China, there are many uncertainties and risks for project management. Lean has been continuously adopted in the construction area as an innovated effort striving to improve productivity and to value clients’ needs. Comparing with traditional construction management, this paper proposes some applications in Lean including Last Planner System (LPS) to identify uncertainties and provide solutions.
