Abstract

With the steady growth of China's economy these years, the construction industry has experienced rapid development while also facing a series of management challenges. This research aims to optimize construction management process by analyzing the application of lean construction principles and the “Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control” (DMAIC) methodology. Firstly, the study introduces the basic concepts and implementation strategies of lean construction, it focuses on reducing waste and maximizing value. Then the study discusses the practical application of lean construction combined with building information modeling (BIM) technology, emphasizing how BIM can enhance project coordination and reduce errors. In the next part, the research analyzes the five stages of DMAIC theory. The Define Stage determines project objectives and customer needs, and the Measure Stage collects data to understand current performance. Then the Analyze Stage identifies the cause of the problem, and after that is the Improve Stage in which solutions are developed and implemented. Finally, the Control Stage, which ensures that improvement measures can be maintained in the long term. The results show that both lean construction and DMAIC methodologies can significantly enhance construction efficiency and quality, reduce costs and risks, and improve customer satisfaction. These findings emphasize the importance of adopting modern management techniques in the construction industry to achieve efficient and sustainable development.
