| Abstract | Construction industry in the world in general and in Vietnam in particular is one of the sectors with the greatest contribution to the development of the national economy over the past decades and it also played an important role in creating jobs for employers in the country. However, the industry was faced with poor performance, low productivity, bad quality, delays and cost overruns.With the desire to reduce waste, overproduction and create value added for customers. Lean construction has developed in recent times for the construction sector by increasing the efficiency of the construction process by improving the production process and control the workflow in the construction activities. Lean construction has been studied and applied successfully in several companies of the western countries and it is a topic that many scholars have been investing effort to further research and applied more effectively. This study tends to introduce the application of Lean construction contractors and construction managers in Vietnam to be able to use and combine other tools to improve project performance. Manufacturing and Construction have significant characteristics different. In manufacturing, regularly finished products after ex-factory will be transported to the consumers through the distribution channels are wholesalers to the retailers by logistics network systems.In contrast, construction products, great value and cannot be transported. In addition, the construction industry is composed of three important features that is completely different to other industries which are: Onsite production, one-of-a-kind projects, and complexity. Therefore, although the Lean Production was implemented very successfully after the Second World War but the Lean Construction theory is still being developed. |
