Description
Summary:Construction is a complicated process with many unknowns. As a result, planning and scheduling a construction project is a difficult task. A dedicated workspace is required for each person in a building construction project to carry out the required tasks. In this environment, improper workspace planning on a construction site leads to workspace issues, which leads to a loss of productivity, safety risks, and poor-quality issues. As a result, one of the most critical resources and restrictions to manage on a building site is the workspace. When it comes to planning and scheduling stages, space management is always overlooked. As a result, the current study is primarily concerned with identifying the approach that earlier researchers have suggested for space planning in the construction sector. The goal of the planning is to impose an efficient workflow that is aligned with the lean approach. Because time and zones are involved in Takt planning, it can also be linked to space variation. The study’s goal is to highlight the importance of space planning in lean construction, as well as the relationship between space planning and Takt implementation. Thus, systematic literature review (SLR) method applied in this paper revealed the current adaptation of space planning and its implementation in lean construction and Takt application. As a result, method adapted for space planning in lean construction and Takt application has been published and assist for right planning method and adapting, also lead to a better understanding and future improvements. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
