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 — 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.

Unit 1: Variation in Production Systems is an introductory course in the Lean Construction Education Program. Following this course, you will be able to:

• Define the different types of variation
• Explain the concept of throughput
• Distinguish the concepts of throughput and work in progress
• Describe the role of variation in production operations
• List sources of variation in construction settings
• Explain variation mitigation techniques
• Contrast variation mitigation techniques

Unit 4 is the second of two units introducing the Last Planner® System (LPS). This system was developed by the Lean Construction Institute (LCI) to plan projects in a way that produces predictable workflow and rapid learning. This half-day, facilitator-led course shows how to conduct make-ready and weekly work planning sessions. The course is divided into three sessions and teaches participants how to:

• Apply the Last Planner System on a project;

• Hold make-ready and weekly work planning sessions; and

• Calculate, track and analyze percent plan complete for a project.

Lean Unit 5: Lean Supply Chain and Assembly is a one-day, instructor-led course that Unit 5: Lean Supply Chain and Assembly that introduces the lean strategies and tools used to deliver materials, equipment and prefabricated assemblies to the jobsite in a manner that facilitates flow. The four-session course challenges class participants to map the supply chain ? looking to minimize waste and maximize value ? in a collaborative fashion with all project team members, including suppliers and vendors.

Following this course, participants will be able to:

• Differentiate between traditional procurement practices and lean supply chain applications;
• Identify waste and value-adding activities within the supply chain and assembly;
• Evaluate the impact of using lean supply chain on waste elimination, continuous flow and site operations pull;
• Identify strategies needed at the project and company levels to support the lean supply chain;
• List examples of process improvements to the lean supply chain;
• Expand lean beyond the individual project; and
• Create a value stream map to diagnose and improve the supply chain
