Understanding of Lean Construction Philosophy: Contractors’ Perspective in Eastern Indonesia
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 09
Abstract
The Lean construction(LC) has proven effective helping to solve many industry problems and maximize customer value, by helping to understand, identify, and eliminate many of the causes and sources of waste in both the process and physical aspects of the design and construction process as a whole. The goal of Lean is to generate that value effectively and efficiently. Therefore, a holistic understanding of the LC philosophy is very important for stakeholders who are interested in construction projects. The aim of the current research is to analyze the understanding of LC philosophy based on the constractors’ perspective in Eastern Indonesia. The survey instrument used a questionnaire format that has been systematically compiled containing questions about understanding the philosophy of LC. The respondents selected represented companie contractors and subcontractors/specialists, status as private and State-owned enterprises who were currently carrying out construction projects totaling 58 respondent. Empirical analysis using the Likert scale and Relative Frequency formula, state that the contractor's understood that very important to respect for people in construction projects, understood that it is very important to maximize value and minimize waste, and understood that it is very important for continuous improvement in construction project.
