Seats Limited for Lean Construction UNIT 7 Program - Register Today!

Everyone related to the construction process has incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost – from the project owners who want to see tangible results for their investment to the contractors and designers who want to do their job well and move on to the next project. Lean Construction is based on the holistic pursuit of continuous improvements aimed at minimizing costs and maximizing value on a construction project: planning, design, construction, activation, operations, maintenance, salvaging, and recycling.

To help contractors develop the knowledge needed to build lean, the Associated General Contractors of America developed the Lean Construction Education Program.  Construction professionals at all experience levels, will learn the building blocks necessary to transform their projects and companies into a lean operating system.

The Builders Education & Training Foundation has hosted Units 1-6 in the past, and will present Unit 7 on October 15, 2015 in Elk Grove Village.  This six-hour unit, "Problem-Solving Principles and Tools," will teach participants to:

•     Distinguish between the varying definitions for design
•     Define value and commonly used methods to maximize it
•     Discuss waste and commonly used methods to minimize it
•     Differentiate between traditional project methods and lean design
•     Explain the various lean tools used in design and how to deploy them
