Creating Effective Communication and Empowering Craftsman:
LPS in the Field

Date: Thursday, January 18, 2018

Time: 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM

Continuous improvement has been a part of the KHS&S fabric since its inception. The approach provides a platform for all major trades to get involved in planning and Lean sessions to create the most benefit for the project as a whole.  KHS&S’ field supervision and crews develop/participate in pull planning sessions, weekly work plans, weekly work plan maps, and progress maps with the General Contractor and affected MEPs to discuss sequencing, milestones, and safety.  On the project site, KHS&S utilizes Lean Stand-Up Boards (per each crew in the field) which illustrate these weekly work plan maps and daily production goals.  These boards are visible to the entire project team and are discussed daily at the stand-up meetings.  By empowering team members, a vehicle is created for improving communication and fostering ideas.  Specifically, construction crews that install the work utilize the Daily Stand-Up Board meetings to communicate and nurture ideas on how to decrease waste and provide better planning.

Learning Objectives:

• The attendee will grasp how the job site and m oral can increase by allowing all employees to have ownership and creating responsibility through stand-up meetings at a Lean Board.
• The attendee will learn how engagement was created and has started to create a desire for Lean knowledge.
• The attendee will understand how a Lean Board became a safe space for discussion safety, production and logistics
