Presenting A Model to Increase the Hope of Success in the Road Construction Projects Based on Lean Thinking in Kirkuk Province

Abstract

This article investigates the application of lean principles in road construction projects in Kirkuk province to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance overall performance. The research method involves analyzing questionnaires, normalizing data, conducting sensitivity analysis, and performing gap analysis. The findings indicate that principles like value stream mapping are well implemented, whereas principles like continuous improvement could be more effective. The sensitivity analysis revealed that construction cost, project duration, and stakeholder participation significantly influence project success. Gap analysis identifies discrepancies and highlights the necessity for targeted interventions. Further investigation of lean maturity, comparative analysis, and the influence of corporate culture are among the review directions that are proposed. This study advances lean construction concepts in road infrastructure development by identifying existing practices, assessing their efficacy, and suggesting solutions for development. It also furnishes stakeholders with insightful information.
