Many manufacturing companies are using half of everything: manpower, space, etc. Its great success is what 42 motivated CII to conduct this research to determine if these principles are applicable to the construction industry as well. The result or output was the lean wheel as shown below. Principles are most efficient only when applied coherently as a whole. Liker (2004) divided TPS principles into four categories: philosophy, process, people and partners, and problem solving. CII generated five main principles instead, which can be taken as categories which consist of many sub-principles: 1. Customer focus 2. Culture and people 3. Workplace standardization 4. Elimination of waste 5. Continuous improvement and built-in quality It is a result of extensive studies of lean production and construction principles

I asked, keeping my eyes closed; it was easier to talk to him coherently that way. "I'm sorry." He sounded sincere. "I'm being very rude, I know. But it's better this way, really." I opened my eyes. His face was very serious. "I don't know what you mean," I said, my voice guarded. "It's better if we're not friends," he explained. "Trust me." My eyes narrowed. I'd heard that before. "It's too bad you didn't figure that out earlier," I hissed through my teeth. "You could have saved yourself all this regret." "Regret
