AB  - This study investigates the application and significance of Lean Standard Operating Procedures (Lean SOPs) in panelized prefabrication within the construction industry, intending to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability and accelerate the diffusion of Lean SOPs within the construction industry. As a component of off-site modular construction, panelized prefabrication is widely used for rapid on-site installation and a safer and more convenient off-site manufacturing process. This study develops a Lean SOP framework and evaluates it by tracking and monitoring operational performance using a structured approach of time study, ergonomic risk assessment and expert discussion. After implementing the SOP framework in a case study, the results show that Lean SOPs can reduce time consumption by up to 35%, improve ergonomic safety scores by more than 50%, and reduce hazard levels to acceptable levels, thereby increasing overall productivity.
