Introduction to Lean Construction

Robert Hales

About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

Are you new to Lean Construction and want to know where to start? Do you have some experience of applying Lean to construction but are frustrated by a lack of progress or people’s response?

Take the first step on your Lean certification pathway by joining this workshop. You will learn how to build Lean capabilities on a foundation of values and principles in a way that is appropriate for your environment.

Workshop objectives

  • An understanding of Lean Construction Values and Principles and the ability to establish a basic set of tools and techniques that can deliver significant value in any project.
  • Understanding that stability (resulting from long-term programmes of work and/or an organisational commitment to building lean capability) is required to successfully embed more advanced Lean systems and that capability development should be an appropriate response to the environment.
  • Awareness of the novel “Building Blocks of Lean Construction” model that can be used to guide the development of Lean Capabilities in a way that is appropriate for the project/programme / organisation-al environment.

Topics covered

  • An understanding of how continuous improvement relates to the whole value stream and awareness of the systems thinking that can be applied to deliver more value with less waste.
  • An understanding of what the value of “Respect for people” means in the context of Lean Construction and how this differs from behaviours often seen in construction.
  • Awareness that Lean values, principles and tools can be applied by anyone in any context.
  • An appreciation of how Stability and Levelling enable the sustainable development of Lean Construction Capabilities.
  • An introduction to the Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) framework and its relevance to learning and capability development.
  • The 5 Pillars of Lean Construction.
  • Building Blocks of the Lean Construction Model.
  • Introduction to ISO18404 as a framework for developing an appropriate organisational environment for the development of Lean construction capabilities.
