Researchers have suggested “a broader definition of waste to include not only material waste, but also waste generated in a construction project such as waiting times, transportation times…” (Hosseini, Nikakhtar, Wong, & Zavichi, 2012, p. 415). The definition of waste as well as its classification has been approached by various researchers. In general, researchers have commonly...
Wastes, which can be classified into various types, all have certain characteristics in common, including their negative impact on profitability, flexibility, and productivity. Although waste may not always be obvious, it is easier to minimize or remove its components. The lean approach for the elimination of waste, as described by Ohno (1988), is as follows:...
On the basis of the existing literature, waste in the context of construction can be classified into eight types, namely defects, overproduction, waiting, not-utilizing talent, transportation, inventory excess, motion waste, and excess processing. On the basis of the existing literature, waste in the context of construction can be classified into eight types, namely defects, overproduction,...

In general, researchers have commonly included defects and excess processing as some of the more common factors considered as waste (Senaratne & Wijesiri, 2008). Additionally, other factors have been mentioned in specific industries to broaden this classification. For instance, researchers have suggested “a broader definition of waste to include not only material waste, but also...
The lean approach towards construction adopts both physical and non-physical waste production. On the basis of the existing literature, waste in the context of construction can be classified into eight types, namely defects, overproduction, waiting, not-utilizing talent, transportation, inventory excess, motion waste, and excess processing. The definition of waste as well as its classification has...

The lean approach for the elimination of waste, as described by Ohno (1988), is as follows: “All we are doing is looking at the time line, from the moment the customer gives us an order to the point when we collect cash.
