Presents 

Leaning the Design process

Speaker:

Tom Demko, Principal, Burt Hill

Abstract: 

Lean will be looked at, more as a culture, geared towards maximizing value and eliminating waste in a process. Tom will discuss application of LEAN in the design process to better both the product and the process. Several examples of tools and models related to decision-making, coordination and management aspects of design will be used, all towards the goal of designing a process that results in more informed decisions, and reduces E&O.

LCI National Capital Region Community of Practice (CoP)



The Lean Construction Institute (LCI), a non-profit research organization, was founded in August 1997. LCI's purpose is to develop and disseminate new knowledge regarding the management of work in design, engineering and construction for capital facilities. LCI has developed the Lean Project Delivery System© (LPDS), and the Last Planner® System of production control. Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery - a new way to design and build capital facilities. Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly. Applied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done throughout the delivery process. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system - maximize value and minimize waste - to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process extending from project definition through design, supply and assembly.

The LCI NCR Community of Practice is being developed to provide local lean support to owners, architects and designers, engineers, contractors, specialty contractors and suppliers who are doing business in the National Capital Region.  We invite project delivery team members to meet together as a local user group to learn, share and develop a lean community in the National Capital Region.  For more information please e-mail ncr-support@leanconstruction.org
