The Imperial Corporate Training Institute offers Lean Construction Improvement Strategies Training Course. The Lean Construction Improvement Strategies Training Course offers construction professionals a means of applying proven methods and frameworks to re-engineer their business processes from traditional methods of construction delivery to more value-driven project delivery systems. The focus of the course is the application of lean thinking to the construction environment in order to eliminate waste (non-value-added activities) and improve workflow and teamwork across all parties involved within a project. By applying a systematic approach to waste reduction and the optimal way to manage processes, students will learn how to more effectively plan, execute, and control their projects while continuing to meet the requirements for quality, safety, and cost.
This course adopts a practical, strategic approach to developing an understanding of how lean principles can be integrated into the elements of construction, such as; planning, procurement, site execution, and performance measurement. Students will have direct experience of improvements in efficiency as a result of enhanced coordination, improved resource management, and a more consistent work process. Students will also learn to view continuous improvement as an ongoing management philosophy rather than as a one-off initiative, thus enabling their organisation to complete projects more quickly, reduce risks, and achieve a sustained level of excellence in operations throughout the construction lifecycle.
