Coming Events

Details and registration coming soon
 

Traditional facility design processes have traditional patterns which have supported several generalized procurement and contracting models such as “design bid build”, “design build”, “CM”, and “CM at risk”. These contracting models typically manage work separately and hand off work from party to party. More often than not, the work is later confronted with coordination issues “downstream” containing conflicts causing costs to rise because of the unpredictability of the “work.” Lean and IPD Methodologies offer the ability to have all parties contribute to the design process from the outset to eliminate these issues and produce a more reliable and predictable product with greater value and control over costs.

PMC West is a $660 million hospital currently under construction in Escondido. How are Lean Practices such as Last Planner functioning with a work force that exceeds 700 "last planners?"  High Performance Teams - Establishing an Integrated Approach to Project Delivery that is Functional, Effective and Inspired. Lean practices are intended to eliminate waste and maximize efficiency, but what about the inefficiencies associated with a project team's ability to function effectively in support of the effort in the field? How are the Owner, Architect, Engineers, CM and Contractors addressing this very real challenge? Registration details are at:

Day One of this seminar will include hands-on simulations, lectures, and discussion to introduce key concepts, principles, and techniques to make sharp the difference between Lean Construction and current project delivery practices. Day Two of this seminar will delve into case studies of LCI Members across the U.S. to explore how they transformed the way they work with design and supply chain partners to deliver projects as planned.

Those who study lean construction are frequently bombarded by testimony and examples from participants in mega projects, often leading to the misguided perception that lean can only be practiced on projects of a certain size or larger. However, this is not the case. Lean for Small Projects will demonstrate the successful application of lean tools, principles, and philosophy on multiple small projects ranging from $5,000 to $5,000,000. Registration details at:

LCI has partnered with the Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) to present the 1st Annual CURT / LCI Summit. Its theme, “Getting in the Game,” will explore why and how owners have used lean construction to improve the delivery of their capital programs. Prominent industry speakers will also explain what led them to consider, adopt, and implement this approach. For Summit agenda information, click here. For Summit registration information (you must do so through CURT via fax), click here. For Summit corporate sponsorship opportunities, click here.
 

The first meeting of the LCI Owner Forum will build on the previous day's CURT / LCI Summit. This meeting will respond to issues and concerns raised by the participants. It will explore the value and benefits of adopting a lean approach in Owner organizations and capital programs. Experienced lean practitioners will assist Owner participants in adopting lean by taking ownership of the lean journey within their organizations and capital programs. Registration details are at:
