Lean Construction Projects
"Effective construction project management is the key to success"
A construction project is a complex undertaking that consists of many phases, such as planning, design, procurement, execution and quality control (acceptance). Each of these phases requires appropriate management of resources, both human and material, to achieve success.
Lean Construction is a modern approach that radically improves the management of construction projects, focusing on the elimination of waste, process optimization and maximization of customer value. With tools such as Last Planner System®, companies can better plan and coordinate construction works, minimizing delays and downtime. In practice, this means more predictable schedules, more efficient use of resources and higher quality of implemented projects.
Four main problems in construction project management:
Delays in project implementation
It is estimated that 40% of projects are implemented with delays
Budget overruns
In recent years, on average 20-30% of projects in Poland exceeded the budget by at least 10-15%, and in some cases even by 20-30%
Quality problems
Research indicates that 25-30% of projects require additional financial outlays for corrections, which increases costs and extends implementation time
Safety on the construction site
ShapeIn 2023, the construction sector recorded an average of 5 accidents per 1,000 employees per year
Lean Construction Tools
General Process Analysis (GPA)
A tool that helps analyze and optimize construction processes, especially those related to project management.
Goal: Identification and optimization of key construction processes in order to eliminate waste and increase the efficiency of project implementation.
5S on the construction site
5S is a workplace (construction site) management tool that helps organize and tidy up the workplace, which leads to increased efficiency and safety. It consists of five steps: Sorting, Systematicity, Cleaning, Standardization, Self-discipline.
Goal: Improving work efficiency through better organization of the construction site.
Shopfloor management (SFM) on a construction project
A management method that focuses on direct supervision and optimization of work on the construction site. Management regularly monitors progress, resolves issues on-site and coordinates team activities through daily meetings and visual management
Goal: Ensuring work flow, quick problem solving, improving communication, which increases the efficiency and quality of project implementation.
Last Planner System® (LPS)
It is a planning tool that involves all project participants in creating detailed schedules at the operational level. LPS helps to better predict work, eliminate delays and coordinate activities at various levels of the project.
Goal: Increasing compliance of plans with the actual implementation of works and minimizing the risk of delays.
Daily Huddle Meetings
These are quick operational meetings that take place every day on the construction site. During these meetings, progress is discussed, obstacles are identified, and teams collectively decide on priorities for the day.
Goal: Increase communication and quickly respond to problems.
Kaizen (Continuous Improvement)
Kaizen is an approach to continuous process improvement by systematically making small improvements that lead to big benefits over time. Lean Construction uses Kaizen to continuously eliminate waste and optimize processes.
Goal: Continuous optimization of construction activities and elimination of losses.

Adam Barański
Lean Construction expert with over 15 years of experience, specializing in implementing optimization solutions in various industries, from construction to the automotive industry. It effectively supports organizations in improving operational efficiency, using advanced tools such as VSM, SMED, TPM, Hoshin Kanri and Kaizen. Its activities also include project management and training that help companies achieve sustainable growth and eliminate waste.
For over two years he has been working closely with a large international construction company, implementing the Lean Construction methodology in its key projects. Thanks to this, the company not only improved efficiency on construction sites, but also significantly reduced operating costs by introducing innovative project management solutions. It focuses on the practical implementation of Lean tools, including: Last Planner System®, which allows for optimization of work flow and better resource planning at every stage of construction.
His approach is strongly rooted in process improvement and change management practices, which makes him a leader in this field on the Polish and international market. He has worked with companies of various sizes, adapting the Lean strategy to the specific needs of clients. The training and workshops he conducts focus on eliminating waste, balancing production processes and effective management of production teams, which translates into measurable results for the organization.
Paweł Nurzyński
Leader of Continuous Improvement in the field of management and development. He completed higher education at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology and gained knowledge during training in Sweden and the Netherlands. Now he shares his knowledge and experience as a guest lecturer of DBA and MBA Executive studies at the University of Social Sciences in Łódź. His publications can be found on websites such as: Constant Growth, BDO Advisory and Tagatic.
His greatest passion is process improvement. For years, he has been supporting Polish enterprises by optimizing their production, sharing his knowledge and experience, training employees and implementing tools that allow companies to develop.
In his daily work, he combines knowledge of problem-solving methods, theory of constraints, Six Sigma and Lean Management. In the past, he has cooperated with companies such as: Princess Yachts, Kanri Soft, ATEX, Apra-Optinet, Alucrom (Midroc group), DeLaval, Essity (formerly SCA Hygiene Products), ETO Magnetic, Eberspacher, CS Group and Tagatic. He supports companies in process optimization, conducts improvement projects and supports the transfer and launch of processes. He implemented projects in Poland, Germany and Great Britain.
Author of e-learning courses for the production and service industries. He has completed, among others, training in the field of Effective Problem Solving, Standardization, Visual Management and Workplace Organization.
