This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of diverse production and
material flow processes implemented in the construction industry, with a specific focus
on building sites. The construction sector, characterized by its complex logistics and
the need for efficient material management, faces significant challenges in optimizing
production flows to minimize waste, reduce costs, and improve project timelines. This
research aims to identify, analyze, and compare various strategies and methodologies
employed across different construction projects to manage production and material
flows effectively. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative case
studies and quantitative data analysis, the research examines several key factors
influencing material flow and production efficiency on construction sites. These
factors include the adoption of lean construction principles, the implementation of
just-in-time (JIT) delivery systems, the application of advanced planning and
scheduling tools, and the integration of technology-driven solutions such as Building
Information Modeling (BIM) and automated material tracking systems.
