Abstract: | This study examines the impact of implementing lean construction practices on successful
project completion within the private house association sector in Addis Ababa. The research
focuses on key variables such as Collaborative Project Management, Information Sharing,
Advanced Technologies, Lean Construction Practices, and their influence on Project
Completion. Employing a descriptive and explanatory research design, the study aims to
provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to project success in
this context. Data was collected through a combination of quantitative method, including
questionnaires with 35 employees from Fetish Construction. The reliability of the variables
was confirmed through Cronbach's Alpha, indicating high internal consistency. Descriptive
statistics, normality tests, and non-parametric tests were utilized to analyze the data,
providing insights into the relationships between the variables. Key findings reveal that while
traditional project management practices and information sharing did not show a significant
direct impact on project completion, the integration of advanced technologies demonstrated a
near-significant positive effect. Lean construction practices, although not significantly
impacting project completion directly, highlight potential areas for optimization. Based on
these findings, recommendations include enhancing collaborative practices, investing in
advanced technologies, optimizing information sharing protocols, and refining lean
construction implementation strategies. These actions are expected to improve project
efficiency and effectiveness, contributing to better project completion outcomes in the
construction sector. |
