Storytelling with the 8 Lean Wastes

Speakers:

 Rob Warcup, Utah Valley University
In 2007, Rob was fortunate to take part in a Lean construction pilot program and to write the playbook on Lean operations for a national construction firm.  He quickly realized the power of Lean as his team saved $16 Million through identifying and eliminating waste from their processes.  Since that time, Rob completed a PhD that emphasized Lean construction and currently teaches construction management at Utah Valley University.  He developed a Lean project management course in 2011 that he teaches yearly.

David Medina, Layton Construction
David Medina has 10 years of experience in the construction industry. He is a UVU alumnus having graduated from the Construction Management Program. He has a passion for healthcare and mission critical construction projects, which is where he saw the need for improvement in current construction process. This led him to research lean construction principles and is the reason he advocates for advancements in construction processes and technology. He has participated in a true IPD/IFOA project in Arizona and currently works for Layton Construction in their Preconstruction department for Mission Critical projects.
