Program Title:
Less is More
Getting the Best Out of Lean Design and Construction
Featured Presenter:
David Shull, with Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber
(See Speaker Bio Below)
Abstract:
Please join us! We welcome all stakeholders from Michigan's construction industry to attend. The meeting will include a networking dinner, presentations from lean adopters, and a brief overview of the latest topics.
Would you like to reduce time spent on planning and developing projects? Would you like to lower your costs, reduce waste and eliminate errors when constructing your facilities? Would you like consistent delivery of successful results? Learn how principals and practices from Lean Manufacturing can substantially improve the design and construction of charter school facilities.
Date and Time: Thursday, January 27, 2011, 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Cancellation Deadline: Tuesday, January 25,2011. There will be no refunds after this time. Each person must register and pay to attend the meeting and dinner. Please help us save time, expense, and avoid people showing up at the last minute… plan ahead and register early! We cannot keep costs reasonable and caterers cannot plan their food without sufficient notice.
Value Added Proposition:
LCI chapters enable practitioners from lean-oriented owners through supply chain partners to meet and exchange lessons learned from the use of lean principles and techniques, both internally and across the capital project design / delivery supply chain. During the meeting, not only will you hear both design and construction perspectives on Lean Construction from leading practitioners, you will discuss them as well with other meeting attendees. Your participation and feedback for future chapter events are fundamental to the success of this newly formed chapter, so we hope you will join us!

Hosted By
LCI Michigan Community of Practice
The Lean Construction Institute (LCI), a non-profit research organization, was founded in August 1997. LCI's purpose is to develop and disseminate new knowledge regarding the management of work in design, engineering and construction for capital facilities. LCI has developed the Lean Project Delivery System© (LPDS), and the Last Planner® System of production control. Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery - a new way to design and build capital facilities. Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly. Applied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done throughout the delivery process. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system - maximize value and minimize waste - to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process extending from project definition through design, supply and assembly.
The Michigan Community of Practice (CoP) of LCI provides local lean support to owners, architects and designers, engineers, contractors, specialty contractors, and suppliers. We invite owners and project delivery team members to meet together as a local user group to learn, share, and develop a lean community in Michigan. As a regional forum for conversations among practitioners, the CoP will help create a new common sense for the AEC industry as LCI continues to build knowledge in design and construction.
