Why The Lean Builder Master Class?
The construction industry is beset by myriad challenges: labor shortages, an unpredictable supply chain, volatile construction materials costs, a mental health crisis, and more. Delivering projects efficiently, on time, and within budget is increasingly more difficult in this environment. Inspired by manufacturing practices, Lean Construction tools and processes can help you to better achieve these goals—BUT in the face of pressing project deadlines and heavily competing priorities, the addition of unfamiliar Lean Construction processes or tools can feel intimidating, overwhelming, and easy to ignore in favor of what’s already known and comfortable.
Because we are builders as well as operations-based Lean practitioners, we understand what you’re up against, and we have created The Lean Builder Master Class with field leaders like you in mind. With an emphasis on waste reduction, continuous improvement, and a culture of collaboration, our Master Class provides an actionable, easy-to-follow blueprint that will equip you with the knowledge and skills to transform your job site culture and elevate your project delivery to new heights.
What To Expect
Starting with WHY and ending with HOW, we provide a holistic understanding of Lean’s benefits. Then we simplify and clearly articulate the benefits of seven primary Lean concepts, and teach them in a highly relatable, immediately applicable, and field-friendly manner. You’ll walk away with an easy-to-follow blueprint and implementation plan to lead your team and dramatically improve your project delivery process through:
- Daily Huddles
- Visual Communication
- The Eight Wastes (through the lens of a construction project)
- Constraint Management
- Pull Planning
- Last Planner System® and Look-Ahead Planning
- Root Cause Analysis through Percent Plan Complete (PPC)
The Lean Builder Master Class provides relevancy, fills in the blanks, and offers the help you’ll need to make Lean implementation easier to understand and accomplish.
