AB  - In the past it has been difficult to implement lean supply chain management in construction because one entity does not have control over an entire supply chain. This research investigates supply chain practices at GS Engineering & Construction in Korea. The purpose of this case study is to explore the lean application on rebar supply chain management practice at GS. The paper discusses vertical integration in the supply system to reduce lead time and to improve a supplier’s reliability. It also discusses production control system and task standardization for a contractor’s planning reliability.
