Abstract: The zero waste principle in lean thinking is applied to the construction of Huangdao underground oil storage project in rock caverns. A management mode named “6S” inclusive of SEIRI, SEITON, SEISO, SEITETSU, SHITSUKE, and SECURITY is implemented in the construction site management. Value stream is emphasized in the whole process, and the values of building owners are maximized. Results reveal that “6S” management mode for engineering construction under the lean thinking is evidently prior to traditional management. The rate of good quality doubled, the building materials inventory rate reduced by 95%, the construction personnel is reduced by 50%, the construction period is shortened by 5% and the profit is increased by 10%.

Key words: lean construction, lean thinking, construction site, “6S” management, zero waste, value stream
