| dc.description.abstract | Lean construction, adapted from manufacturing, is focused on reducing waste, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement. However, its Last Planner System (LPS) lacks the automation needed to manage complex projects. On the other hand, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is capable of developing models that are compliant with LPS planning levels and faster visualization of errors. Prefabrication encourages just in time delivery while benefitting from BIM model capabilities. The objective of the study is to establish a framework to integrate Last Planner system with BIM and Prefabrication. Literature study and survey inferences were used to identify the potential to integrate. The framework aims to develop smooth workflows and an up-to-date LPS, boosting lean environment. It could be significant to the users of both BIM and prefabrication by having the potential to manage and coordinate progressive BIM models and less variable workflows for prefabrication. | en_US |
