Thank You Sustaining Sponsors!
Join the St. Louis CoP for a Virtual Event!
No matter your location across the country (or around the world), the St. Louis Community of Practice invites you to attend a virtual event on Tuesday, July 29: Clean, Clear & Construction-Ready: Implementing 5S for Safer, Smarter Jobsites.
In this 1-hour webinar, you will learn the tenets of 5S (Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) along with its benefits and implementation tools for your jobsite. This event is designed for people with all levels of Lean experience and is applicable to trade partners, general contractors, and owners alike.
The webinar will be hosted by Linsey Schoene, a Senior Lean Services Manager with extensive experience optimizing operational efficiency and driving initiatives at Alberici, a diversified construction company. She champions the development and implementation of the company’s Lean program, designed to build effective teams, reduce waste, and enhance productivity at project sites located throughout North America. Linsey is also co-chair of the LCI St. Louis CoP.
