The Research of Key Factors Affecting the Implementation of Lean Construction

Abstract:

The application of the ideas and methods of lean construction is still in its infancy in China's construction industry, there are still many factors that restrict the implementation of lean construction, and how to find the key influencing factors is worthy study. We summarized the 28 influencing factors of Implementation of lean construction through project management expert interviews and field research in the construction site, and conducted a survey of 300 construction projects, distributed 710 questionnaires. After analysis of the survey questionnaires by using rough set theory and stepwise discriminate analysis finalized the 14 key factors affecting the implementation of lean construction and construction project performance.
