Application of Lean Production Methods To Construction Industry

Current challenge is information exchange between stakeholders in construction in BIM (building information modeling) environment. BIM provides platform for all aspects of construction products and process, that allows simulate and optimize not only a design, but also processes in lifetime cycle of building. BIM platform create appropriate environment for application of principles of lean construction in construction industry environment. For lean construction are not characteristic only a principles and methods, but in first place mentality, but not only a managers, but all who participate on the construction process. Lean production and lean construction represents two view on optimize construction production. In this article are presented selected methods of lean production, which appropriate application into BIMenvironment creates conditions for lean construction.
