ABSTRACT
As project teams move to work more collaboratively and transparently using Lean integrated project delivery practices, a collaborative and transparent decision-making method to guide the decision-making process becomes more important. Lean Construction does not specifically prescribe a particular decision-making method. However, several research studies do show that Choosing By Advantages (CBA), originally developed by Jim Suhr, is an appropriate decision-making method for project teams that seek to build collaboration, transparency, and consensus. This chapter provides an overview of how CBA works in practice, its connection with Lean, research outcomes related to Lean and CBA, the benefits of using CBA, a demonstrative case study, recommendations for implementation, and future research opportunities.
