Abstract

With the continuous acceleration of world economic development and globalization, China, as the world's largest developing country, has also affected the construction industry's growth accordingly. The construction industry consumes huge resources, so how to improve the level of project management and better meet the needs of the market and customers is necessary. Lean construction is a new type of project management model that can well meet the project's goals. Although lean construction has many advantages, the full implementation of lean construction has certain problems due to various factors. This article mainly reviews the past research results, analyzes some obstacles encountered in lean construction's overall performance, and gives some reasonable suggestions. The aim is to enable lean construction to achieve better development in the industry.
