Goals of Lean Construction Focus on how to bring more value to the clients we serve Value includes: Safer job sites (zero injuries) Quality assurance (zero defects) Sustainable (net zero efficiency) Unique solutions (pre-fabrication) 7
Goals of Lean Construction Results: Reduce time to design and construct Reduce cost to deliver projects Improve profitability 8
Goals of Lean Construction How do we do it? Start to develop an awareness about the 8 wastes 9

Top 10 Lean Tools
#10 Seven Basic Wastes The goal of Lean is to eliminate all waste 1. Transportation Moving of people and/or material 2. Inventory Delivered too early, too much 3. Motion Looking for tools, material or information 4. Waiting Times Delay in moving to the next step 5. Overproduction More, or earlier, than needed 6. Over processing Multiple approval levels/extra steps 7. Defects Poor quality, errors or re-work 8. Unused Human Potential Employee creativity 12
#9 Just In Time Delivery (JIT) Minimize transportation, inventory, motion and overproduction waste Promote opportunities for prefabrication Benefits: Safer work environment Minimize damage to material and surrounding materials Increase quality 13
#8 Muda Walks Go and See Muda means waste in Japanese Is there Flow? Go to work area to watch what happens Is there Waste? Treasure Hunts (a.k.a. motion waste) Are there Standards? Can t improve if they don t exist Equipment maintenance & utilization Ask: Why? (5 times) Ask: How can we make it easier for you to do your job? Fix Problems Now!! 14
#7 Value Stream Mapping Map out current process for getting work done Look for steps that are redundant Look for non-value steps that can be removed Physically walk the route of the process or task Benefits: Gain agreement on best process Establish standards 15

#4 IPD/Lean IPD/TVD Not just a contract A Delivery Method Highly relational, collaboration from day #1 Co-location Big Room Sharing of risk Incentive for all team members to succeed Perfect environment for BIM and Lean! Benefits: Reduce waste, schedule and cost and increase quality and safety 18
#3 Last Planner System Limit master schedules to milestones and long lead items Produce pull planning schedules with the team that will do the work, use a backward pass, and establish durations based on best case scenarios Filter activities from the pull planning schedule into a 6 week look ahead (6- WLAS), screen for constraints, and advance only if constraints can be removed in time Team partners produce Weekly Work Plans to coordinate the needed activities, manpower, etc. to accomplish the work planned on the 6-WLAS Daily Huddles ensure entire team understands the tasks at hand as well as where the project is going in the near future Learn to make reliable promises Track Percent Plan Complete (PPC) and Variances failure to keep promises 19
# 2 Last Planner System Master Schedule Phase Schedule Should Do Can Do Look Ahead Plan Action to prevent repetitive errors Will Do Did Weekly Work Plan Perform Work Review accomplishments & constraints (PPC) 20
#1 5S s Five S words in Japanese roughly translated to: Sorting Get the clutter out! Simplifying Organize it! Sweeping Keep it clean! Standardizing Establish one way! Self-Discipline Sustain! Visual Techniques Follow Through - 30-Second Test 21
