A.S.I. Conte’s scientific contributions

In construction, the application of the lean production model stems from a discussion of Koskela’s work [3], which emphasized the importance of the production process flow, as well as aspects related to converting inputs into finished products as an important element to reduce wasted value in jobsites. Production should be seen as a flow that generates value through conversion processes, characterized by cost, time frame, and the degree of added value. In this context, considering the high uncertainty typical of the construction sector, it was essential to adopt management attitudes that are able to make the operating environment stable, reducing production process variability and significantly increasing the reliability of the production planning phases, including the jobsite’s internal logistics.In construction, the application of the lean production model stems from a discussion of Koskela’s work [3], which emphasized the importance of the production process flow, as well as aspects related to converting inputs into finished products as an important element to reduce wasted value in jobsites.
