Re-inserting my changes
I'm re-inserting the changes I made, that were reverted by the author and main editor of this page. I contend my changes are valid for the following reasons:
- "lean construction" is not a proper noun phrase, so it should be lowercased.
- saying it's part of a "scientific revolution" is an uncited opinion, and thus original research.
- the "potpourri of definitions" section is non-encyclopedic, and adds very little information to the article.
- the long list of links to companies at the end constitutes linkspam.

Welcome to the Lean Construction Seminar
I have not edited the article page in any way, but I feel it is appropriate to raise a general concern about this article.
If the aim of Wikipedia is to be an online encyclopaedia resource, then I feel this article falls some way short of that aim.
This reads to me very much in the fashion of a brochure or note-pack that would accompany a Lean Construction Seminar, and is therefore a wholly biased article submitted by a proponent of the subject.
Whilst perhaps we should thank Mr. Abdelhamid for presenting this to readers "free of charge", it is, in my opinion, not suitable as an article in its current form.
Surely it should, at least, be limited to relevant facts, and at the VERY least, the FAQ section should be removed.
I have neither the skill or knowledge to suggest how a re-write of the article should appear, but if the subject, instead of being "Lean Construction" was "House" or "France" then the article would not be written in the same style.
I accept that lean construction is a concept rather than an object, but rigorous standards should equally apply.

Tagged FAQ
In my opinion, the FAQ section is not at all encyclopedic in nature. It may contain useful information, that is beyond my ability to discern. I have therefore applied two tags to it. April 16th, 2010.
We have addressed all the issues in this concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tabdelhamid (talk • contribs) 17:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
comment from a carpenter
I have been a carpenter for 25 years and I had not heard of lean construction before reading about it on Wikipedia. In my opinion the name would be much more clear if it was called "lean construction management". It is a way of managing a manufacturing process in the sense of a verb rather than a building technique such as lift slab construction. Manufactured housing is mostly outside my experience as a custom builder which is why I hadn't heard of it. As a new editor of Wikipedia I will study this page to help me learn.
