Reihe: Architectural Engineering and Design Management

The fields of design management and lean construction appear to be developing independently. This volume brings together a number of papers to argue that lean thinking should be integral to design management in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC).

The publication brings together a variety of perspectives on lean design management from authors located in four continents; Africa, South America, Australasia and Europe. Themes covered include:

' Lean thinking and flexible building solutions
' Quality and flow of information in 14 sub-projects of a major airport project
' Ghanaian consultants' perspective on process waste
' Target costing and its application to social housing projects in Brazil
' Concept of 'first' and 'last' value, drawing on social housing projects in Chile
' Development of a lean design management model specifically for remote sites

The papers offer a mix of theoretical materials and empirical research findings, providing a unique insight into aspects of lean design management.
