Re-Engineering, concurrent engineering, lean production: What is the ideal antidote for the construction industry's ailments?

Koskela, LJ

Abstract

It is widely agreed that the practice of construction is deficient and requires improvement. However, the construction research community has had little to contribute to a solution, except trialling new approaches from general management scene or advancing technological tools. It is argued that a new research frontier is needed, where integral understanding of operations, construction and computing is created. Through this understanding, real progress can be achieved.
