Lean for Construction – A Practical Approach – Burnaby

December 12, 2018 @ 8:00 am - 4:30 pm

  • « Microsoft Excel for Business – Victoria
  • Microsoft Outlook – Strategic Management – Victoria »

Lack of materials brings construction to a halt. Excessive rework causes budget overruns. An unplanned equipment break-down causes critical delays. A contractor hunts for the most up to date drawings.

Each of these situations represent wasted effort and time that directly impacts a project’s cost, lead time, and quality. CITN is excited offer a full-day workshop aimed at introducing key Lean concepts and how they can be applied to improve these key metrics and create a culture of continuous improvement.

Participants will learn:

A practical, jargon-free approach to Lean
Implement a culture of problem solving in 4 simple steps:

  • Define value from your customer’s perspective
  • Capture the current state: visually capture all activities required to bring the project from initiation to completion
    • The importance of value-adding work
    • How to capture the 8 types of waste
  • Develop the plan: prioritize wastes for elimination
  • Improve using Plan, Do, Check, Act: design and implement effective solutions

The resulting impact on costs, lead-time, quality, and culture 

The importance of team work and collaboration

Join us for this fun and interactive workshop that will highlight how simple, continuous change can have a big impact on project efficiency and team morale!
