Abstract Construction project planning and scheduling are critical processes that often face challenges leading to delays,
cost overruns, and quality issues. This research investigates applying lean principles to address these challenges and enhance
construction project planning, scheduling efficiency, and effectiveness. Through a systematic review of relevant literature,
case studies, and published materials, this study examines the potential of lean principles to reduce lead times, eliminate
waste, and improve resource utilization in building projects. The findings demonstrate that implementing lean principles can
significantly enhance planning and scheduling efficiency by eliminating waste, improving communication and teamwork,
and facilitating project predictability. However, successful implementation requires a comprehensive understanding of lean
principles, commitment from senior management, and involvement of all stakeholders. Implementing cultural change,
adopting a continuous improvement mindset, and focusing on value creation is essential for lean implementation. The study
provides recommendations and practical implications, emphasizing the adoption of lean culture, investment in lean training,
and utilizing lean tools and techniques. Furthermore, measuring success through key performance indicators aligned with
strategic goals and leveraging lean principles for competitive advantage are highlighted. The research findings have
significant implications for the construction industry, offering the potential for cost reduction, project time savings, improved
quality, and increased customer satisfaction. This report guides construction companies aiming to enhance their project
planning and scheduling processes by implementing lean principles.
