Lean Construction Education Program Unit 3: Lean Workstructuring Participant's Manual

WELCOME TO UNIT 3: LEAN WORKSTRUCTURING
Lean Construction is driven to minimize costs and maximize value on each
project completed, challenging all stakeholders to develop and apply better ways
to manage the overall construction process. Everyone related to the construction
process has incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost â€” from the
project owners who want to see tangible results for their investment to designers
and contractors who want to do their job well and move on to the next project.
Throughout the construction process â€” planning, design, construction, activation,
operations, maintenance, salvaging, and recycling â€” the holistic pursuit of
continuous improvement drives more efficient, effective, and economic projects.
On a corporate level, lean is most effective when embraced by all areas of the
company. To do so, senior management must understand the need for and
advantages of lean implementation. But lean is also an individual journey. All
project team members must work together on a daily basis, incorporating lean
principles into their most basic work, to see the true benefits of lean. This course is
just one part of the foundation that is available to help you reach these goals.
Unit 3: Lean Workstructuring is the first of two units that will introduce the Last
PlannerÂ® System (LPS). This system was developed by the Lean Construction
Institute to plan projects in a way that produces predictable workflow and rapid
learning. This half-day, facilitator-led course will focus on Lean Workstructuring.
The course is divided into three sessions:
Session 1 discusses the concept of pull planning and includes a building simulation
activity to familiarize you. This session will also discuss the difference between
push and pull planning.
Session 2 defines Lean Workstructuring (LWS) and outlines its products briefly for
the pre-construction and construction phases. The session includes a case study
and discussions that show how LWS differs from other methods.
Session 3 provides an overview of the LPS and identifies its main levels. This
session will also discuss percent plan complete.
