Although the term “lean construction” was coined in 1993, the “lean” concept itself can trace its origins several decades earlier to the Toyota Production System and its philosophy of eliminating waste: overproduction, unnecessary motion, and unneeded product transportation. Within the past several years, those same principles have started to gain popularity in the construction industry, with the two major focuses being prefabrication and preassembly (assembling components in a controlled environment, then transporting them to the construction site in “chunks” for assembly).
