Inaugural Issue of Lean Construction Journal
November 14th, 2004 by HalThe lean construction movement now has its own professional journal. I've just finished reading the new Lean Construction Journal. This first issue will provide someone new to lean construction a survey of the breadth of issues and directions currently being investigated. The writing is first rate. As usual for this set of authors, their papers are well-referenced. These are the first four papers:
- Generic Implementation of Lean Concepts in Simulation Models, by Jack M. Farrar, Simaan M. AbouRizk, and Xiaoming Mao
- Moving on - Beyond Lean Thinking, by Lauri Koskela
- Competing Construction Management Paradigms, by Glenn Ballard and Gregory A. Howell
- Lean Construction: Where Are We And How To Proceed? by Sven Bertelsen
I urge you to read the Editors' Note. In just over two pages, Tariq Abdelhamid and Alan Mossman create a context for the journal calling on 12 years of research and investigation. Not sure what lean construction is? You'll have a much better idea once you've read their note.
The panel of advisors and reviewers hail from 11 countries making this truly an international effort. If you are interested in having your paper published, then contact the editors. You'll find instructions for authors and how to contact the editors on the home page.
The journal is available for free to Lean Construction Institute (LCI) members and sponsors. It is $30 for others. I understand this first issue is available to the general public for free for a short time. You can either get the entire contents of the first issue or select from the individual papers. But hurry! Or better yet, get yourself a membership to LCI.
Enjoy!
