This book examines theories and principles in the Lean Production Philosophy to develop situation-based carbon reduction strategies for precast concrete manufacturers and contractors in terms of Site layout, Supply Chain, Production, Stocks and Installation Management. It presents the empirical findings of surveys and case studies with managers and professionals working for precasters and contractors in Singapore, findings which provide good practical guidance for precast concrete manufacturers and contractors to achieve low carbon emissions and to perform better in many sustainability-based rating systems, such as the Singapore Green Labelling Scheme and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Scheme.Production managementEnvironmental economicsProductionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519010Environmental Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000Production management.Environmental economics.Production.Environmental Economics.330333.7658.4/08658.5Wu Pengauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058437Low Sui Phengauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910438071603321Lean and Cleaner Production2499834UNINA
