Lean Construction Education Program Unit 3: Lean Workstructuring Participant's Manual
WELCOME TO UNIT 3: LEAN WORKSTRUCTURING Lean Construction is driven to minimize costs and maximize value on each project completed, challenging all stakeholders to develop and apply better ways to manage the overall construction process. Everyone related to the construction process has incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost — from the project owners who want to see tangible results for their investment to designers and contractors who want to do their job well and move on to the next project. Throughout the construction process — planning, design, construction, activation, operations, maintenance, salvaging, and recycling — the holistic pursuit of continuous improvement drives more efficient, effective, and economic projects. On a corporate level, lean is most effective when embraced by all areas of the company. To do so, senior management must understand the need for and advantages of lean implementation. But lean is also an individual journey. All project team members must work together on a daily basis, incorporating lean principles into their most basic work, to see the true benefits of lean. This course is just one part of the foundation that is available to help you reach these goals. Unit 3: Lean Workstructuring is the first of two units that will introduce the Last Planner® System (LPS). This system was developed by the Lean Construction Institute to plan projects in a way that produces predictable workflow and rapid learning. This half-day, facilitator-led course will focus on Lean Workstructuring. The course is divided into three sessions: Session 1 discusses the concept of pull planning and includes a building simulation activity to familiarize you. This session will also discuss the difference between push and pull planning. Session 2 defines Lean Workstructuring (LWS) and outlines its products briefly for the pre-construction and construction phases. The session includes a case study and discussions that show how LWS differs from other methods. Session 3 provides an overview of the LPS and identifies its main levels. This session will also discuss percent plan complete.
