We embrace a Lean management approach, and a culture that emphasizes collaboration, reliability of scheduling and delivery of the most value - from the client’s perspective - while consuming the fewest resources. Beginning with pre-construction and continuing nonstop throughout all phases of a project, Lean principles drive the efficient delivery of our services.
Lean culture emphasizes re-imagining and eliminating waste in all forms and creating predictable, reliable workflows. On projects that develop and maintain a Lean culture of continuous improvement, our project teams have experienced improvements in design team and trade contractor relationships, communication, scope definition, coordination, cost and schedule performance.
Some Fundamental Principles Of Lean Are
- Define value from the customer’s perspective
- Understand the value stream of all steps in the process used to create the end product
- Reduce waste
- Ensure a smooth flow of value-added activities
- Prefabricate and modularize building systems
- Utilize collaborative pull scheduling to provide each internal and external customer with what they want, when they request it
- Seek perfection by committing to continual improvement in all areas of the process
