| Abstract | Nowadays, Myanmar is trying developing every region equally. For the development, infrastructure development is an important for all regions in Myanmar. This study introduces lean management adoption for Taung-Nyu-Latotho-Yartho Loikaw-Hopong Road to managing an organization that supports continuous concept improvement. Using lean approach will systematically seek small and incremental changes in the process to improve quality and efficiency. The lean theory will continue to be used to reduce waste and improve processes. The main target of lean management is to produce value for the customer through resources and produce a steady workflow based on actual customer demands, and it seeks to eliminate waste. The researcher analyses current practice in project management of road construction projects and how lean management to be applied. They are site operation management practice, schedule management practice, quality management practice, and safety management practice. Implementing lean management adoption in an organization is a concept designed to support the organization and the idea of continuous improvement. This study analyzed the theory of lean management tools such as Jidoka, Poka-yoke, lean waste control, 5S, last planner system, bottleneck, and takt time analysis. When lean management is applied, it reduces costs and facilitates consistently high-quality products and services. Lean management tools have been developed to be easily understood and readily embraced by all personnel within an organization. The implementation of lean thinking by organizations is intended to produce a complete and lasting cultural change and continuous improvement. In this report, only the current construction and management processes are analyzed using only six types of lean management tools. Future studies and some suggestions can be adopted by using other lean management tools |
