The Complexity Conceptual Model of Lean Construction

Nowadays the construction industry is one of the largest and most important industries. The paper firstly reviews the history of Lean construction, two main theory- TFV and LPDS. Then it analyzes the complexity of construction that it differs from manufacture. Finally, combining with stimulus-response model of CAS theory, conceptual model of Lean construction is proposed.
