Join a revolution in the making Lean production management caused a revolution in the manufacturing world. Lean theory challenged the traditional notions about how to plan and manage work - and achieved new levels of performance in return. Products were manufactured in less time, at lower costs, and with improved quality.
A similar revolution is happening in construction, turning conventional wisdom on its head. Projects don't have to cost so much or take so long. Projects don't have to be as dangerous - and they don't have to end in a tangle of lawsuits.
Applied in practice, Lean Construction makes it possible to improve quality AND shorten project duration while reducing cost. This seminar will show you how to bring new levels of cooperation, integration and performance to your projects.
Introduction to Lean Construction introduces the philosophy, principles and techniques of Lean Project Delivery. This new approach to project delivery is supported with examples, case studies and simulations.
The seminar, Introduction to Lean Construction, will be presented in Atlanta on February 12/13. For full details and registration see http://www.conted.vt.edu/introlean/index.html.
