The term ‘LEAN’ was coined by Dan Jones & Jim Womack to describe the difference between MASS Production and a new
manufacturing approaches developed in Japan
Lean is a customer-focused philosophy of working that deliversbetter results with less human effort, less space, less capital and
less time than traditional ways of working
“Getting value to flow at the pull of the customer, then seeking perfection”
What is lean?
Lean concepts
Focus on customers
Value
Removal of waste
Continuous improvement
Respect for and empowerment of people
Value and Waste
Value is determined by the customer
Waste is anything which adds cost but adds no value (from the perspective of the customer)
8 fundamental wastes
Rework Unnecessary production Unnecessary processing Inventory Waiting Unnecessary motion (people and material) Misuse of skills Goods and services that fail to meet user needs
Focus on the customer - value
Customer Value eg for HA Taxpayer value for money Reliable journey times Dynamic and resilient assets Safe Sustainable
Production Value Delivering customer value Better Safer Faster Cheaper
WHAT we deliver
(Product)
HOW we deliver it
(Production system)
What is lean construction?
A production management based approach to project delivery
A new way to design and build – concurrent design of the product and the production system
Changes the way work is done through the delivery process
Based on the concepts of the lean production system
Using techniques tailored to the specific challenge of construction to improve the flow of value through reliable release of work between design, supply and construction
Features of Lean Construction
Production control
Integrated teams and collaborative working
Integrated and pre-assembled supply chains
Focus on people
Focus on continuous improvement
The challenge of construction
“to get the right people, materials, equipment and information to the right place in the right sequence at the right time, every time”
Production control
In order to do work many things (information, labour, plant and
materials) need to arrive at the right place at the right time in
the right sequence. Production Control is the means by
which we manage these inputs, controls and resources to
achieve efficient delivery.
The Production Control toolkit consists of:
Work Planning - Gets the team to meet regularly to create
Work Plans, by using the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, and focus on
making and keeping reliable promises - say what we do, do
what we say - measuring and learning as they go
Make Ready - Encourages the team to understand and
remove the blockers stopping them from doing work before
starting the task at hand
Data Analysis - Uses measurement and learning to inform
the areas to improve performance and do process
improvement
Plan Do Check Act
The Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle
At the appropriate time
Lean, Lean Construction and AgileLean and lean construction
Primarily a philosophy
Focus on customer value
Focus on eliminating waste
Integrated and collaborative teams
Daily and weekly planning by and at team level
Focus on improving task reliability and reduction of overall scheme duration
Agile
A conceptual framework
Focus on customer satisfaction
Focus on simplicity
Self organising teams
Close daily co-operation between all parties
Focus on speed and adaption to changing circumstances
