Abstract
Among industries in Egypt, Construction industry is considered one of the most dynamic and challenging industries. This industry has unique and complex features as they differ from other industries in terms of size, variety, players, locations and types.
These factors render this construction a high-risk industry. There are numerous challenges facing today’s construction manager. This thesis is focused on the construction of the residential compound as these kinds of projects are growing quickly in Egypt. Some are new to the industry, and some are centuries old.
For construction companies, lean construction refers to a company’s ability to complete more projects annually while massively reducing its waste production. This results in an increase in profits and a simultaneous decrease in costs. And consequently, allows these companies to increase their income in short time compared to the traditional construction practices.
The lean construction is considered a neglected matter in Egypt although it can be very beneficial especially to residential compounds projects (According to interviews done).
This thesis discusses the problem of lacking a framework to implement lean management in the residential compounds’ construction. The focus is to design a theoretical framework for the project manager to integrate the Lean Construction implementation in Residential Compounds’ Construction in Egypt.
This research mainly depends on reviewing available literature, analyzing textbook using qualitative methods, reviewing and analyzing academic journals and magazines as well as published theses, conferences and seminars. In addition to the available organizations and governmental publications and data available over related websites.
Lean Management (LM) is a corner stone in the construction field. Yet; it did not spread in Egypt. LM is a management strategy that is adopted by organizations that tend to support non-stop improvements, it is considered a long-term strategy to work that systematically aims to accomplish small and gradual changes to finally improve both their efficiency and quality.
This thesis is expected to propose a framework on implementing the lean construction in the residential compound project in Egypt
