Principles and practices of lean production are applied to project delivery in the AEC industry. Case studies illustrate 'lean' concepts. Project delivery is viewed holistically with a focus on work structuring and supply chain management. Topics include systems dynamics, uncertainty, and variation; materials management; logistics; e-commerce; building information modeling (BIM); and integrated product
and process design. Students use process simulation to assess performance of different system configurations and develop a case study applying concepts on a real project.
