  1. Lean Productivity in a Construction Supply ChainRafaella Broft MSc. | SCM Expert, Arpa | PhD Candidate, University College London

  2. The Dutch construction industry (1) • Represents 4.5% of the GNP and includes a production of 60 billion Euro • ‘Conservative’ and non-innovative • Cost of failure counting for 5-13% of the annual industry’s turnover • A large number of SMEs and self-employed workers

  3. The Dutch construction industry (2) • After an economic crisis between 2008 and 2013, the direction changed – construction production grew with an average of 7% in 2016 • Familiarity of many Dutch construction firms with Lean and SCM, and enthusiasm for the implementation of its principles

  4. Problem statement • Barriers to collaboration; highly adversarial and fragmented approached to relationships • Lack of performance

  5. Construction production (1) - Production-related characteristics (Broft & Koskela, 2018) • Converging logistics to a common, fixed point • Temporary and non-repetitive, one-off construction projects produced through repeated reconfiguration of project organisations • Multiple and concurrent project • Engineer-to-order production strategy

  6. Construction production (2) - Production-related characteristics (Broft & Koskela, 2018) • Based on two types of processes: small batch process and job process • Worked on by several work stations at the same time in suboptimal conditions

  7. Lean Supply Chain Management - The entire value stream (Broft, 2017) • Lean production contributes to eliminate unnecessary complexity • In Lean SCM, the entire flow from raw materials to consumer is considered as an integrated whole, where the interfaces between the different companies are thus seen as articifial

  8. Lean Supply Chain Management - The entire value stream • “The main contractor as production manager”

  9. Lean productivity in the supply chain - Experimenting as a supply chain
