Integrating lean six sigma with sensors and IoT monitoring technologies to optimize efficiency in construction projects

Abstract

This research focuses on improving construction project workflow efficiency using a hybrid scheme of Lean Six Sigma and monitoring sensors. Real-time data and automated monitoring improve project timeframes by detecting waste and eliminating inefficiencies. The study found that delays were primarily caused by long lead times, delayed order placements, and job rework. The sensor-enhanced EOQ model and CiteOps software reduced delays, highlighting the importance of continuous technology integration for long-term efficiency and sustainability in building projects.
