This is done using the shared mental models theory to understand how the lean principles enable people to work together to complete the tasks and work together effectively as a team throughout the entire precast construction process from the design, production and logistics to installation stages. Besides the theoretical concepts, this proposed book also presents the practical aspects faced by contractors through the conduct of questionnaire surveys to understand how the implementation of lean principles and shared mental models will affect the occurrence of construction wastes and hence the changes in the total man days used during the precast construction process. This book also presents a neural network model for developing leading indicators that classify precast construction projects in accordance with the manpower changes achieved through the construct of lean principles and shared mental models. This is to help the construction industry to predict the risk of low construction productivity and enable effective lean implementation to optimize the manpower effort required. 410 0$aManagement in the Built Environment,$x2522-0047 606 $aWaste Management/Waste Technology 606 $aProject management 606 $aConstruction Management 615 0$aWaste Management/Waste Technology. 615 0$aProject management. 615 0$aConstruction Management. 676 $a690.0151 700 $aOng$b Joy$01220138 702 $aSui Pheng$b Low 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485051403321 996 $aWaste reduction in precast construction$92847465 997 $aUNINA
