ADAPTING LEAN CONSTRUCTION TECNIQUES IN NIGERIAN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
ABSTRACT
The major problem of Nigerian construction industry is that the industry fails to adapt modern
techniques to eliminate or minimize waste and improve value of its product. This makes shelter, which is a necessity to become too expensive and unaffordable to many of the citizens that are mostly low income earners. This paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing lean Construction Techniques in Nigerian Construction Industry by comparing Last Planner System with traditional method in construction of 300 housing unit in Damaturu by Yobe State Government of Nigeria. A field study was conducted to analyse the effectiveness of Last Planner System compared with traditional method on the production of these housing units, and to assess the progress so far in tackling the problem of waste and increase value at the end. The data are collected by direct participation in the production management and interview. The effectiveness of Last Planner System is measured base on performance criteria. Best on the Last Planner implementation result so far give significant improvement even though most of the party’s involve are not quite familiar with it. With the cooperation of the top management staffs of Ministry of Housing, people have started developing interest on lean construction technique in Yobe State of Nigeria. It was concluded that with effective training and implementation of lean construction technique, from planning and design stage to production stage, waste and non value adding steps will be reduced and eliminated gradually, and will
increase the value and cut down exorbitant cost of structures. Lean construction, Last Planner System, Traditional method, value adding steps, material and time waste, Planning, Production, Improvement, exorbitant cost.
