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 LEADER 05326nam 2200673 a 450 001 9911019385803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786610311378 010 $a9781119201526 010 $a1119201527 010 $a9781280311376 010 $a1280311371 010 $a9780471774044 010 $a0471774049 035 $a(CKB)1000000000355124 035 $a(EBL)244307 035 $a(OCoLC)475965339 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000168018 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12055095 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000168018 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10178009 035 $a(PQKB)11106148 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC244307 035 $a(Perlego)2784214 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000355124 100 $a20050608d2006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe handbook of pairs trading $estrategies using equities, options, and futures /$fDouglas S.
