Lean Construction
Lean is a production management strategy for achieving significant, continuous improvement in the performance of the total business process of a contractor through the elimination of all wastes of time and other resources that do not add value to the product or service delivered to the customer. Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly. Applied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done at every stage of the delivery process.
SECBE's training programme teaches you to stand back to examine and question your processes:
- to understand what value means to the customer and eliminating anything that does not contribute
- to reduce costs while increasing profits, increasing market competitiveness and reducing prices to customers
- to deliver better results to all parties using less resources and effort
Training takes place over 10-12 days set at three week intervals over a 6-9 month period. Of course the number of sessions is agreed to suit your own particular build programme or process.
