Lean Construction Events: Classes, Workshops, and Lean Coffee

Join us for a virtual Lean Coffee to learn and support each other in our Lean endeavors! Take part in an open conversation in a safe, small and low-pressure environment about the topics that are relevant to our Lean community. We want to hear about the problems you are solving, the issues you want to solve, and lessons you’ve learned on your Lean Journey. No previous Lean experience is required.

The Lockheed Martin Skunk Works^® team is in the business of innovation. Evaluating a large number of highly diverse and complex projects is a perpetual, and often challenging, part of their business. Fully understanding the Scope of each project is essential to their mission. Presenting the Scope in a format that could be quickly and easily understood by diverse stakeholders would help the project team create a common understanding and a “shared memory artifact” of the Scope. Lockheed Martin worked with Burns & McDonnel (BMcD) to try using Fundamental Scope Blocks (FSBs) to meet the client’s expectations for a “minimum viable product” to support their capital funding planning process.

Come join your local community of Lean enthusiasts for a few drinks, some networking, and a preview of LCI’s premier event coming to New Orleans October 17^th-21^st.  Register and you might just win a ticket to LCI Congress just by showing up to this Happy Hour. That’s right! We’re raffling off one two-day pass to LCI Congress with a complimentary Gemba tour to one lucky attendee.

Join us for a Mid-Atlantic CoP Preview of (2) Presentations that will be delivered to a National Audience at the 2022 LCI Congress in New Orleans. This is a great opportunity to get a “taste” of what Congress is all about if you’ve never been there before or can’t make it this year, and to give these teams an opportunity to hone their presentations before the “BIG SHOW!”

This webinar will introduce technology in a way that addresses change management, supports adoption and adds value. As well as provide an understanding of Agile Construction, and its role in creating a lean, efficient, productive jobsite.

Want to get 5S from concept to sustained reality? Hear the story of the Denver Airport project where a labor foreman became a hands-on 5S manager focused on developing relationships with trade foremen, rolling up his sleeves to shift plans into action, and sustaining this through follow-on efforts.  Learn about the cheesy, but wildly popular Golden Dustpan Award, the one-page Trade 5S plan conversation starter, and 5S Walks, featuring a bite-size 5S class followed by real work and real action plans.  If you want 5S to be an X factor in hitting your schedules, reducing accidents, and creating harmony in your projects, attend this session.

Presentation covering the Last Planner tools being used on the University of Iowa Health Clinics new campus in North Liberty. After the demonstration of the planning tools used on the project will be a site tour.

All attendees must bring their own PPE: Vest, hard hat, safety glasses, gloves, and boots are required.

From initiation to closure, the benefits of adopting digital tools and services in the completion of construction projects is increasingly being realized. These tools are redefining the way projects are managed and built. This digital transformation is providing opportunities to improve efficiency, efficacy and on-time and on-budget project completion. While promising significant benefits, digital transformation demands new ways of working with information, artifacts, and team members. This webinar illustrates the need and role of conversations in this new technology milieu to avoid misunderstandings and assumptions, getting to “I see what you mean.”

This webinar will discuss how Levcon Analytics bridges the gap between design and construction, brings stronger accountability to BIM execution plans, and reduces the time it takes to compile COBie reporting requirements.

Gain new ideas and perspectives that will enrich your work and drive your Lean practice forward. Playing a vital role in the ever-evolving design and construction industry for nearly 25 years, Congress is where your Lean community comes together for unparalleled knowledge-sharing across disciplines. Attendees come back year after year to reconnect while sharing experiences and successes—and return home with critical, actionable knowledge.

This webinar will focus on how you can do more by doing less by empowering the Last Planners to take charge of their own destiny. It will cover how to teach and guide the Last Planners to become more effective and develop an active role in leading their projects through collaborating amongst each other.
