Abstract: This paper deals with explaining the importance of the application of lean management concepts for flyover construction. A detailed literature review was done to study the conventional practices and the influence of the lean approach in the construction industry. The study was based on primary data, which has been collected through a well-designed questionnaire. A sample of 20 respondents were selected on covering the different level of experience, profession, qualification and operational locations in the construction field. The questionnaire survey is performed based on causes of waste in flyover construction in the material storage and handling stage and in the procurement stage. The data collected was analyzed using sample t-test. Various suggestions were made for minimizing waste in flyover construction based on the literature study. Further study is proposed to be done to gain better insight about the adoption of Supply Chain Management in the Indian construction scenario
