Full textBackground:
After immense criticism, the Swedish government requested an investigation concerning
the construction industry. The report concludes that the inactive competition within the
construction industry entail that the industry continuously delivers the same products, in
the same way. Gabrielsson & Lutz (2002), states that the market condition and the long
history of static competition within the construction industry has led to low productivity,
high consumption of resources, large influences on the environment, higher costs and a
lack of qualified labour. The construction industry is now dealing with an increasing competition
and evidently decreasing subsidies from the government, that will continue to influence
the construction industry, and the companies, which therefore must work hard to
sustain and increase their competitive advantages.
Purpose:
Describe how a construction firm could integrate the strategy with the operative work on
the project level in order to sustain and develop their competitive advantages in a growing
competitive environment, by implementing a balanced scorecard (BSC).
Method:
Since the problem and the subject are complex and vast, the authors started the research by
study a wide range of literature, articles and journals. Three interviews were made with a
project leader working at the site, operative level, and two managers working on the strategic
level, in the line organization above the project leader. With this selection the authors
aimed to see whether the three experienced the organization and strategies the same way.
Conclusions:
The authors have concluded that NCC needs to go from being a very decentralized organization
to be more of a centralized one. The centralization concerns purchase, coordination,
industrialization, and project selection. The strategy has to involve all of these factors. NCC
needs to coordinate the retention of knowledge and newly found solutions. They also need
to have continuing processes of development and improvement concerning this retention,
which in favourability should be located on a national level. This could raise NCC’s
chances to achieve increased efficiency, decreased costs, better quality and environment.
The authors further believe that NCC needs to strengthen their focus on industrialization
on a national level, while letting the project organizations act as its own company. Every
project is unique and therefore NCC needs to learn from all projects in ability to see the
possibilities and enlighten the problems in all types of projects. If not, the large-scale production
benefits could be missed out.

This thesis explores the application of the Lean Enterprise Model (LEM) to construction firms. LEM is a framework derived from lean manufacturing principles by MIT's Lean Aerospace Initiative (LAI) for the aerospace industry. Construction firms also need new business models to meet the change in construction industry environment. Lean enterprise could assist in the development of a new business model. In theory, LEM could be applied to any given industry. A matrix has been created in which six key construction characteristics are compared to six key lean enterprise principles in order to asses how compatible would the lean enterprise model be taking into account the particularities of the construction industry. The results show that in some aspects the construction industry is already somewhat lean, e.g. it works on the basis of customer pull, while in others the application of lean principles would require a big mindset and cultural change, e.g. adversarial relationships due to the lump sum bidding system.
