Introduction and Aims
The International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC) makes up an international network of professionals and researchers in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) who feel that the practice, education, and research of AEC have to be radically renewed in order to respond to the challenges ahead. We call this vision
Lean Construction. Our goal is to
better meet customer demands and dramatically improve the performance of the
AEC product development and production management process. The Group is
developing new principles and methods, specifically tailored to the AEC
industry but akin to notions of “lean production” which have proved so
successful in manufacturing. IGLC organizes an
annual conference to provide a discussion forum for its members and outsiders
interested in lean construction. The aim of the IGLC 11th Annual Conference
is to bring together practitioners, educators, and researchers to discuss
industry practices and new developments of theory and applications of lean
production in the AEC Sector. |
