Project Management, PM, refers to the practice of planning, executing and
controlling certain tasks to achieve specific goals at the specified time. Applications of
this methodology (such as the Gantt chart) are commonly used in construction road
projects. In order to increase productivity and reduce project costs, alternative
management approaches (such as the Lean Construction, LC) can be followed. In this
approach, the lean manufacturing principles are applied to achieve a delivering value
with less waste (or in other words, with lower construction time). The aim of this study
is to compare the traditional PM and the LC for the construction process of an actual
road built in Cairo (Egypt) between the cities of Cairo and Alexandria. In this study, the
analysis of certain parameters (such as the percent plan complete, root cause of delays
or the total project duration) will be analysed for different construction scenarios. The
results of the paper illustrate the advantages of using LC over the traditional PM
approach in road projects.
