Abstract :

<p>The consolidation of the Lean Construction theory depends on the application of its principles and concepts by practitioners. Only feedback from the construction industry itself can support further research on the analysis and adaptation of the Lean principles to the construction process. Therefore, it is necessary to work on construction manager&rsquo;s education in order to incorporate the lean concepts and principle as well as approaches in their daily practice by (PBL) Problem base learning method. This paper describes an ongoing research project concerned with the development of construction management PBL training programmers on lean construction, aiming at encouragement changes of pattern in process management. The learning process for research students was carried out, focusing mainly on the relationship between teacher and students along lectures dealing with lean construction concepts and principles. The study has indicated that it is relatively straightforward for the students to understand and to apply some basic concepts like process, operation, conversion and flow activities and the general concept of waste. But it has also pointed out that it is not so easy for them to understand and comprehensively incorporate the lean construction principles and approaches.</p>
