Abstract

The preceding chapters demonstrated that the lean production philosophy could be applied in both the precast concrete factories and the construction sites (using precast concrete components) to reduce carbon emissions. The level of carbon emissions that could be reduced was related to the frequency of many non-value adding activities that have been identified in previous chapters.
