New Framework Suggests Scalable Digital Twin Deployment for Smart Campuses

Researchers introduced Lean 5.0, a next-generation construction management paradigm that integrates predictive analytics, human-AI collaboration, and continuous learning within Industry 5.0 principles.

Lean 5.0 blends digital twin, blockchain, and AI capabilities to enhance transparency, traceability, and operational foresight. In empirical validation, the approach delivered notable performance improvements—such as a 13% increase in plan percent complete (PPC), a 22% reduction in rework, and a 42% uplift in forecast accuracy—compared with traditional methods.

The model emphasizes ethical and human-centric AI use, aiming to align predictive control tools with workforce needs and practical decision-making.

Conclusion:

Lean 5.0 signals a future where digital workflows not only support efficiency but also reinforce human judgment, collaboration, and ethical outcomes in construction management.
