1. TITLE OF PAPER / CASE STUDY Author Name NAME OF ORGANISATION Abstract Lean principles are positively impacting the construction sector globally. Significant improvements in operational efficiencies of construction organizations are being reported in USA, UK, Brazil, Scandinavia, Australia and other countries. Academic and practitioner communities are engaged in furthering the use of Lean principles all around the world. Indian construction sector has been exploring the use of Lean principles but implementation has largely remained experimental. Example projects are available in India that showcase convincingly the benefits that can be reaped by the Indian construction sector. Introduction The theme of this Conference is to explore avenues for Lean-based transformation of the Indian construction sector. Simply stated, the Conference will bring together construction experts from India and across the globe to provide a road map for mainstream implementation of Lean principles in India. Need For Study Delays are common in construction sites The specific reason for delays are often unknown. Interface issues Objectives To measure the delays due to interface issues in construction site. To illustrate coordination delays can be minimized using Last Planner Contracts Methods Lean principles are positively impacting the construction sector globally. Significant improvements in operational efficiencies of construction organizations are being reported in USA, UK, Brazil, Scandinavia, Australia and other countries. Academic and practitioner communities are engaged in furthering the use of Lean principles all around the world. Indian construction sector has been exploring the use of Lean principles but implementation has largely remained experimental. Example projects are available in India that showcase convincingly the benefits that can be reaped by the Indian construction sector. The recent IITM- ILCE Lean Training & Implementation Program 2013 implemented in nine Indian sites, convincingly demonstrated the advantages to be gained by adopting Lean principles in Indian construction.

However, Indian construction companies and clients are yet to realize the full potential of Lean principles on Indian projects.
