Lean Construction for Field Personnel - Getting Started - Lean Unpacked Unit I

Welcome to Lean Unpacked, a six-part Introductory course on Lean in Construction for field personnel. When project teams are finished with this course, they will have a practical, comprehensive introduction to lean principles as they apply them to real world construction projects. They will also be introduced to simple and practical exercises that will make an immediate impact on productivity and improvements on projects. This approach is designed to be both a knowledge bridge and confidence builder in a student’s ability to successfully implement and improve your companies approaches to Lean project delivery.
The six lessons are:
1. Getting Started with Lean - Welcome & History of Lean in Construction
2. Seeing & Eliminating Waste - The Eight Wastes in Construction
3. Taking Lean to the Job Site - Critical Practices for Success
4. Creating a System That Works - One Piece Flow & Small Batches
5. Making Lean Productive - Reliable Promises & Network of Commitments
6. The Last Planner ® System - Team Planning & Scheduling
With Lean Unpacked your teams can learn at their own pace. They should be able to complete the video and quiz in each unit within 30-45 minutes. We recommend that you review the exercises and, if possible, apply them to your job site immediately. This is analogous to a driver’s training course - where book learning only goes so far and students need to “drive” to understand the application of concepts to the physical world.
Note: Units 1-2 are complimentary. If your team would like to complete All Units, Please subscribe to this TH-cam Channel to be notified when they are added. Please leave a comment about how this channel helped your project or team.
