Elimination of the waste :

• Defect - Defect means the work is not doing correctly first time then resulting in rework that means the wastage of time & material. Also generate the scrap or rework due to defect.
• Overproduction - In the construction any work is completed before the deadline of that work then there can happen the overproduction.
• Lack of planning - Planning is required for every month, every week, every day and also for every task. If planning is not done properly then there is the chances of generation of waste.
• Transportation - It happens when the unnecessary transmission of information that means 
• Waiting - Waiting for construction when the labours are ready & some old work are incomplete before the starting of new work.
• Excess Inventory - Material is not required on site but order the material & store it for a long time resulting material is weak & effect on quality of construction.
