Abstract
The applicability of the lean production philosophy in the construction sites using precast concrete products (hereinafter referred to as precast concrete construction sites) to reduce carbon emissions was analyzed in previous chapters. In this chapter, detailed evaluation of the applications is presented. The evaluation of the lean applications followed the value stream in the precast concrete construction sites, which included site layout management, transportation management, stock management and erection management.
