Lean study is aimed to maximize value. Lean tools and techniques are used for achieving higher productivity in construction projects. Time studies plays important role in measuring productivity. This paper aims to review the efforts of previous researchers about the time studies in Lean construction projects. From the literature overview, it is observed that time studies are effective techniques to identify value and non-value-adding activities. Even though Time study is not considered as a direct tool to improve processes but it can be considered as useful indicator, which helps identifying waste. Even it is useful to select best strategies on sites. The main focus of this study is to highlight the important role of time studies in identifying waste and increasing productivity. This study will help researchers understanding Lean practices with reference to time studies in their projects.
