Implementing and continuity of lean construction using discrete event simulation

The success of lean principles in manufacturing and the benefits arising from its use is one of the main motivations for adopting lean principles in construction .The lean construction strives for the same goals as lean production, namely to eliminate waste and to maximize value.
