Barriers To Effective Implementation Of Lean In Construction Engineering Projects

Author(s) Engr. Louise Angela Ognita Villanueva
Country Philippines
Abstract Lean Construction have been shown to help improve effectiveness, efficiency, achieve standardization of workflows, and enhance performance of projects in engineering. But despite their benefits, adoption still remains limited due to many barriers at the organizational, technical, or behavioral level. The purpose of this research is to identify and investigate the barriers affecting the implementation of lean tools. This research utilized a quantitative descriptive-correlational design. A structured survey questionnaire was developed and distributed to office engineers, project managers, site engineers, and architects to collect data on their knowledge of lean tools and to assess the barriers they perceive that affect the use of these tools. The data was analyzed using mean, ranking, Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis. Findings revealed that respondents generally demonstrate a high level of awareness of lean tools and perceive their implementation as evident, particularly in reducing errors, rework, and delays. Correlation analysis showed that lean awareness is positively associated with implementation, while organizational, technical, and behavioral barriers are negatively associated with it, with behavioral factors identified as the most influential. Regression results further confirmed that the combined barriers significantly predict lean implementation, with behavioral barriers emerging as the only significant predictor.
