Abstract
The construction industry is one of the largest and most markable industries worldwide. As most of the professions, the construction industry has some chronic problems such as low productivity, poor safety, inferior working conditions, and insufficient quality [1] Lean Construction by Luis Alarcon 01.01.1997. These problems are serious diseases which should be managed. They cannot be eliminated completely but can be reduced and handled by specific tools and engagements. Due to the large extend of this industry, there are many aspects which can be optimized and developed. One of the most important challenges in this industry is the wastage. To maintain a sustainable and justified project, it is necessary to apply some approaches seeking towards a decreased amount of wastage. One of the approaches and groundbreaking tools is LEAN.
