Construction is becoming more competitive every day and many general contractors are turning to Lean Construction as a way to deliver quality projects on time and on budget - sometimes with varying degrees of success. If you've ever been part of one of these projects, perhaps you were a bit frustrated by the process, had a hard time seeing how it could help you, or weren't given much guidance. If Lean is new to you, now is the time to find out what it's all about.
 
Topics:
• History of Lean - how it applies to construction
• Waste in Construction - learn to see hidden waste
• Workflow - why smooth is way more important than fast
• Last Planner System ® - what it is, how it helps projects (and subs) and how to use it
