AB  - The registered levels of failure in construction projects encouraged searching for new concepts and methods to improve the performance of these projects. Lean construction and Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) are examples of these concepts. While lean construction has been practiced for three decades, AWP is still newer. Despite the growing interest in Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) and Lean Construction, there is currently no published research that explores the feasibility and effectiveness of applying AWP and Lean Construction in construction projects. The current study aims to provide a comparison between the two concepts based on the results from reviewing the literature. This study, which covered 29 studies, summarizes similarities and differences between lean and AWP based on four categories; context and principles, project specification, roles in the project, and work approach. Based on the results, the study recommends investing in ways to integrate the two concepts aiming at achieving better performance on all levels and decreasing the impact of uncertainty and complexity in construction projects.
