      ABSTRACT

      This chapter presents a Lean-Construction and supply-chain management systems-integration perspective on how project participants can engage relevant stakeholders within the supply chain with a well-integrated single-team approach to project delivery. It looks at supply chain management (SCM), Lean construction and how this fits in with logistics management to improve productivity. The chapter discusses the concepts of Lean construction, Agile project management, SCM and logistics. It explains how Lean principles may be applied in integrated project delivery (IPD) and how SCM processes enact logistics protocols to organise and manage effective project delivery. The chapter identifies how ‘Agile’ project management concepts relate specifically to IPD projects. The concept of Lean production has a long pedigree, beginning with the emergence of approaches to eliminate waste as a part of total quality management approaches. The limitation to the extent of SCM engagement and action that can be achieved lies in part with a platform element: the motivation to do so.
