Join us for a Lean Happy Hour 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.
Participants from cross functional roles such as designers, contractors, owners, trade partners and associations propose discussion topics around any subject about which they want to learn - THERE ARE NO IRRELEVANT DISCUSSION TOPICS!!

Each proposer takes 15-30 seconds to pitch their topic, written on a sticky note, to the group. Once all topics have been pitched, voting begins to establish a priority for discussing the topics. Topics are then ordered from highest to lowest votes and examined accordingly. Participants will receive 5 minutes of time to discuss the topic. After 5 minutes there will be a "thumbs up/thumbs down" to decide whether or not the discussion should continue. Thumbs up means 3 more minutes on the clock. This happens until it is agreed that the topic has been discussed to satisfaction. Takeaways are considered and then the group will move on to the next topic on our list.

Come as you are and be ready to learn.

Adult beverages, soda and water will be available.

Please join us for this in-person event! A team from Intel will be presenting   information on their Optimized Construction Flow process. OCF stands for Optimized Construction Flow.   It’s not only a methodology but it’s a way of “project execution” life. The 7   Principles of OCF include employing strategic integration and planning,   target tactical planning, collaborative process, constraint management,   maximizing pre-fabrication, controlling installation start, and ensuring   installation flow. As an Owner, Intel had   to develop an approach that challenged the entire supply chain of the project   to ‘bow to the constraint’ of trade resources, while also meeting our lofty   production demands. Planning is not the Key! It’s EVERYTHING…more importantly   it’s the strategic planning BEFORE the pull planning. This means that well   before the Last Planner’s attend their first pull plan the supply chain must   prepare all the critical inputs to ensure their success. Trade Productivity   is a primary focus of the OCF. One of the driving tenants is not just to   improve the efficiency of the workflow and productivity but cut overall   project durations! A Dramatic CULTURE   CHANGE story…we’d like to share our experience with you!

Speakers:

• Tracy Lucero - Intel  Tracy is with World Wide Professional Solutions and possesses 21   years of construction industry experience including 7 Years of Lean   Experience. She was an LCI Congress   Presenter 2014 and 2016. Previously served 3 years on the LCI AZ Community of   Practice Core Team.

Please join us for this in-person event! Staying within the allowable   budget and ensuring the team’s innovation decreases waste and increases value to the customer are attributes of successful project delivery and can be achieved through Target Value Delivery (TVD). TVD is a disciplined management practice with several phases (Business Case Planning, Validation, Value Delivery and  Value Post Construction) meant to be applied holistically to obtain maximum value. The phases of TVD can be supplemented by core   components like team organization, Big Room, project planning, cost modeling, continuous estimating and conceptual design. This course is registered with AIA CES for 2 LU credits.
