Optimization of Construction Engineering Projects by Lean Management

Abstract

With the rapid development of the economy and technology, the construction industry needs to provide more advanced and high-quality solutions for larger-scale and more technically challenging projects. Traditional construction management models can no longer meet the demands of the modern era. Lean management, which focuses on reducing waste and optimizing processes, offers innovative approaches to cost control, resource coordination, and quality management in engineering. This article explores the specific applications of lean management in the entire project lifecycle, including the construction of a cost control system, the optimization of value and business flows, and the implementation of full-process quality traceability. It demonstrates the significant benefits of lean management in reducing labor costs, improving construction efficiency, and ensuring project quality. Research indicates that through systematic optimization, lean management breaks through traditional management bottlenecks in terms of cost, quality, and schedule, effectively enhancing corporate economic benefits and market competitiveness. In the future, when integrated with digital technologies, it can further drive the construction industry towards more efficient and sustainable development.
