Effectiveness of Lean Construction Principles on Project Efficiency in Central Jordan's Construction Projects

Purpose – Clarifying and measuring the effectiveness of flexible construction principles on project efficiency in construction projects in central Jordan. Design/methodology/approach – This study is considered one of the quantitative studies that provide a numerical explanation to prove the effectiveness of lean construction principles in project efficiency in construction projects in central Jordan. The study sample was selected randomly from a homogeneous community of consultants and contractors who hold engineering membership from the Jordan Engineers Association. Results– The results indicated that the comprehensive application of the principles of flexible construction (value definition, value stream mapping, flow creation, pull instead of push, and Pursuit of Perfection) leads to improvements in the level of efficiency in construction projects in central Jordan. Originality/Value - This research highlights the research gap related to the application of flexible construction principles by the construction sector and reveals the concepts related to project efficiency. In addition, this research is considered one of the few studies that studied the extent to which the Jordanian construction sector applies flexible construction principles and its effectiveness in improving project efficiency.
