Assessing the Effect of Building Information Modeling System (BIM) Capabilities on Lean Construction Performance in Construction Projects Using Hybrid Fuzzy Multi-criteria Decision-Making Methods

Despite possibly higher initial costs, owners and construction management organizations have demonstrated a growing interest in implementing practices that result in improved quality and fewer risks, disputes, and waste on their projects in recent years. Therefore, to solve this problem, a new method that has been considered for design and construction is lean analysis and construction. If this design is aligned with new technologies such as building information modeling (BIM), there will be a huge change in the success of projects. Integrated and synergistic integration of the two phenomena of lean construction (LC) and BIM can reduce errors and losses. The main purpose of the present study is to determine effective parameters of the synergy of LC technique and BIM system and identifying and evaluating the most important application and infrastructure required to apply an integrated model of application of these techniques in construction projects in the country. The data were examined utilizing the combined approach of FAHP and FTOPSIS after determining the relevant capabilities of BIM and LC functions. The results showed that among the identified BIM capabilities, the ability to integrate the database with a weight of 0.201 ranks first, and the standardization function in LC with a similarity index of 0.547 is also the optimal solution. Also, the results showed that based on the similarity index (CCi) illustration of the process of how to form a plan status plan at any time, “The closest solution to the function of teamwork culture, the ability to” assess compliance with the initial objectives of the plan “The closest solution to the function of continuous improvement/construction based on quality and capability” Fast construction and Time and cost optimization “The closest solution to the function of continuous improvement/construction based on quality and capability” Energy consumption “The closest solution to the function of waste and the ability to” Build and control computer scheduling and project budgeting “The closest solution to the function of waste be.”
