Smart Digital Systems & Processes in Construction
Description
This course is fundamentally rooted in Lean Construction 4.0, which has emerged in response to advancements in the architecture-engineering-construction-operation (AECO) industry. This approach addresses the adoption of new production management theories for the AECO industry, the digitalization of the sector, and the broader challenges faced by individuals and organizations—not only within the industry but also across society as a whole.Learning Outcomes
- Distinguish the different Lean Construction 4.0 components, namely Lean Production theory in Construction, Industry 4.0-driven Smart Digital Technologies, and Human-Centred Design, which in unison, can improve the production performance of AECO projects.- Evaluate the potential of Lean Construction 4.0 and its components to be implemented in AECO projects.
- Create human-centric strategies to optimize the implementation of Lean Production and Industry 4.0-driven Smart Digital Technologies in AECO projects.
- Evaluate management approaches to effectively integrate Lean Production principles with Industry 4.0-driven Smart and Digital Technologies in AECO projects.
- Evaluate the impacts of using Lean Construction 4.0 principles and tools on AECO project’s performance.
