Abstract

Lean construction is a substantial feature of construction including both pre-construction and post- construction activities which leads a project towards a successive or catastrophe end result. Nowadays, most of projects frequently face uncertainty and it causes to produce continuous waste throughout the construction process making negative outcomes of quality, cost, time and scope. Synergy of TPS (Toyota Production System) philosophy and BIM (Building Information Modelling) methodology is the key to diminish the above-mentioned project hazards which creates an opportunity to stimulate the construction process by avoiding negativity for a better lean future. Hence, aim of the paper focuses on determining most effective potentials that could be derived from the Toyota way philosophy to incorporate to BIM to benefit the lean construction industry. A qualitative approach has been used considering the nature of the research, comprises of primary and secondary data collection which totally ran across information grabbed from online publications concerning the reliability of sources. Evidences revealed that TPS-BIM model has agreeably accepted by construction field and the features of this model need to be more precised and refined to achieve more accomplishments in conditions of leanness. It was revealed that even if the method of synchronizing TPS capabilities on BIM tools by balancing nature of human dynamics along with technological endeavours, TPS-BIM integrated elements need more amendments and verifications to perform with its superlatives. Moreover, lean principles derived from TPS contain adequate capabilities to up heave BIM potentials to maximize the benefits in construction with all the positivity throughout the process.
