VRCA – Implementing Lean Construction

Vancouver Regional Construction Association – Implementing Lean Construction

Projects with a variety of contracting arrangements carry significant risk to the project stakeholders in terms of both cost and schedule. The potential for strained relationships developing between the owner, contractor and sub-trades exists which often results in conflicts. When this occurs, we see an increased level of waste on the project and adversely affected schedules and budgets.

To mitigate these issues, a disciplined and consistent effort to control workflow variation, reduce waste, increase productivity and drive continuous improvement is required. As part of an overall program to implement Lean strategies across a large organization, providing key members of the Project Execution teams with a workshop on the fundamentals of site level Lean tools is critical.

This informative 7 hour virtual live instructor led workshop (delivered in two 3½ hour sessions) walks through the history and evolution of Lean Construction and demonstrates how to apply Lean principles throughout the life of a project with a focus on takt time and Last Planner System implementation strategies. We will use a virtual workflow simulation to demonstrate how to use Lean Construction tools and participants will leave with the ability to begin implementing Lean tools on your projects immediately. This workshop is also ideally suited for initial project team training as it ensures that all stakeholders have the same base level of Lean knowledge.
