Lean Coffee – How do we help people transition back to in-person? (Ohio Valley CoP)

Join us for a 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.
Participants from cross functional roles as designers, constructors, owners, trades 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 to 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 8 minutes of time to discuss the topic. After 8 minutes there will be a ‘thumbs up/ thumbs down’ to decide whether or not the discussion should continue. Thumbs up equals 4 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 topic with the next largest amount of votes is addressed. Come as you are and be ready to learn.

Developing team Conditions of Satisfaction (CoS) is key to any Target Value Delivery project, and very useful for any other construction project. This collaborative process sets forth the agreed-upon factors that will determine project success, thereby guiding decision making throughout design and construction.
Join the Ohio Valley Community of Practice for an interactive session, including a CoS simulation, in which attendees will learn to:
- Define the meaning of Conditions of Satisfaction;
- Understand the process by which Conditions of Satisfaction are developed;
- Recognize the importance of identifying metrics, thresholds for success, and timing for regular analysis and correction, as needed.

Parade of Trades – a Simulation for Lean Flow (Ohio Valley CoP)
October 11, 2021 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Read more >>
Developed by the Lean Construction (LCI) Institute over 20 years ago, the Parade of Trades® is a key foundational experience for anyone interested in implementing Lean within a project setting. The simulation illustrates the impact of local variability on global throughput. Attendees will virtually represent one of seven trade partners involved in a parade of trades within a construction team. Teams will roll dice that represent the capacity they bring to site to complete their work scope within a given week. However, a team member's ability to complete their work will depend on, and thus be limited by, the handoffs of work completed by their preceding trade partner. This fun virtual workshop will include a group debrief of key takeaways for enabling and sustaining good flow within our projects.

Join us for a 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.
Participants from cross functional roles as designers, constructors, owners, trades 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 to 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 8 minutes of time to discuss the topic. After 8 minutes there will be a ‘thumbs up/ thumbs down’ to decide whether or not the discussion should continue. Thumbs up equals 4 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 topic with the next largest amount of votes is addressed. Come as you are and be ready to learn.

LCI Lean Learning Series - What is Lean? (Ohio Valley CLEVELAND CoP)
January 31, 2020 @ 7:30 am – 9:00 am
Read more >>
This year, we will alternate between the Lean Learning Series and Lean Coffees each month. The Learning Series is a good opportunity to invite someone who is starting their Lean journey to join us as we work through some of the big topics of Lean construction.
We will start our Lean Learning Series presentations with "What is Lean?"
What is Lean?
This topic introduces Lean Project Delivery as relevant to the design and construction industry, compares conventional delivery with Lean delivery outcomes and describes the goals and benefits of Lean. Participants will learn the key principles that are foundational to Lean as the LCI 6 Tenets of Lean in detail.
The LCI Lean Learning Series is a facilitated discussion-oriented event focused on a specific Lean subject matter. The event is more structured than a Lean Coffee yet shorter and less structured than a LCI education course. Its purpose is to provide just enough knowledge base to kick start an engaging Lean discussion amongst the participants.
Speakers:
Mark Seifried: Managing Director-Program Management, NV5
LCI Core Group Vice Leader
Armando Francisco: Senior Vice President, Lake Erie Electric, Inc - Cleveland Division
LCI Core Group Member
Registration is Free - Registration Required
Limited Parking is available at Karpinski. Carpooling or use of public transportation strongly encouraged. Some minimal parking available on Euclid (subject to posted hour limitations).
