Identifying waste in virtual design and construction practice from a Lean Thinking perspective: A meta-analysis of the literature

In recent years, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry has broadly expanded the use of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), particularly Lean Construction methods, to deliver value to their customers. VDC includes the use of Production Management using Lean methods as an i...
