Welcome to the LCI Northern California Community of Practice. Our community serves Lean practitioners from the Bay Area to the Central Valley. Currently we hold two separate events per month, one in the Bay Area in Oakland, and a Central Valley event in Sacramento. Every third month we hold a single joint event at a more neutral location in Walnut Creek. We take the month of July off so that members of our CoP can enjoy some summer vacation time with family.
As you know, the design and construction industry is transforming into a more collaborative culture through the application of Lean principles and integration project teams. Our goal is to create an environment where owners, architects, designers, contractors, trade partners, suppliers, academics and industry organizations can all come together to share, learn, and explore Lean principles and processes with a common goal of improving our industry and delivering value to our Owners and community.
Each December and March our Core Group meets to outline our monthly event topics that is inspired by LCI’s vision to transform the Built Environment through Lean Implementation and to ultimately increase stakeholder satisfaction and maximize project delivery value.
If you have topics that you would like to present or have any questions or comments please contact Angela Bowman (Leader) at Angela.Bowman@boldt.com. For any membership questions or sponsorship opportunities please contact Dan Goodman (Membership Leader) at daniel.goodman2@ucsf.edu

This program leads you through building project team collaboration during your design build projects that will help to make the project a success. You will hear how we were able to create this type of team collaboration to get through a complex design-build project of an existing University of California dining commons with a compact schedule. You will also hear that by having solid teamwork and collaboration, we were able to incorporate an additional 47 change orders into the project without affecting the critical end date of the schedule.
Using teamwork and collaboration with our trade partners and designers during the bidding process, allowed us to create a set of construction drawings. By showing this type of collaborative effort early in the life of the project, the Owner and end users were able to make quick, educated decisions that allowed us to turn documents around much quicker than the traditional design approval processes.
Through the implementation of team collaboration, we built trust, reliability, and accountability through the entire process from our trades, designers, the owner, the inspection team, and the end users. By asking for input and opinions on how to accomplish tasks and goals, everyone felt comfortable talking to each other and didn’t feel apprehensive about bringing up an issue or question because the team created a safe environment to allow for open communication as there was no “finger pointing” or blame. The team had the same goal, which was to deliver a quality project on time and that met the client’s needs.

At Southland, we empower our Shop and Field Tradesmen to implement new processes that improve our inefficiencies. Changing Culture is grassroots movement, and by encouraging lean thinking and promoting big ideas, we’ve begun to experience a shift toward adopting a lean culture. Inspired by Paul Akers (Congress 2012) to create a video library, we set up a video competition with monthly and yearly winners, the yearly winner wins a trip to Congress. Our employees are motivated to document their lean processes in a format that can be easily shared across the organization. This practice creates a competitive spirit and inspires an entrepreneurial attitude and lean leadership.

The Business Case for Lean
Traditionally we have relied on anecdotal evidence to suggest how Lean project teams typically deliver better project outcomes. Empirical evidence now shows that projects with high Lean intensity are three times more likely to complete ahead of schedule and two times more likely to complete under budget. How and why Lean and IPD projects are excelling were explored through two separate Lean Construction Institute research efforts conducted by Dodge Data & Analytics and University of Minnesota.
Join us to find out why owners, architects, engineers, and constructors are forging ahead with Lean. Attendees will learn how to use this compelling information as a call to action, and a way to change the project mindset for the better. They will leave the event with an understanding of how to get started, and the best way to tell the story.
John Pemberton,
Intel’s former VP of Technology and Manufacturing, recently oversaw domestic and international projects as Intel’s Global Construction Group General
Manager. John also led the technology transfer and ramp of new
products. During his last three years with Intel, Pemberton was on Lean

WE HAVE TWO PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA (WEST SACRAMENTO AND WOODLAND), AND TWO PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (FONTANA AND IRWINDALE).THE GOAL OF THE KAIZEN EVENT IS TO IMPROVE SAFETY, QUALITY, AND PRODUCTIVITY BY DEVELOPING STANDARD OPERATIONS FOR THE STRIPPING, SET UP, REINFORCING, AND PLACING OF PRECAST SYSTEMS. THE CHANGE WE ARE LOOKING TO BRING ABOUT WAS TO GO FROM A TEAM WHO CONSTANTLY HAD TO LOOK TO THEIR SUPERVISOR FOR WHAT TO DO NEXT TO A TEAM WHERE EACH EMPLOYEE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEIR ROLE WAS IN COMPLETING ALL THE WORK. KAIZEN EVENTS CAN INTRODUCE DRAMATIC CHANGE TO A PROCESS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GREAT RESULTS. HOWEVER, THE POWER OF KAIZEN MUST BE APPLIED WITH THE CULTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION IN MIND. IN THIS PRESENTATION WE WILL LEARN HOW MANAGING THE PREPARATION FOR A KAIZEN CAN GO VERY WELL, OR VERY BADLY. WE ARE USING A NEW FORMAT FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE MEETINGS IN 2015. PLEASE NOTE THE LOCATION CHANGE TO THE AIA EAST BAY OFFICE, AT 1405 CLAY STREET, IN DOWNTOWN OAKLAND. PARKING IS AVAILABLE ACROSS CLAY STREET FROM THE BUILDING ENTRANCE. BART IS TWO BLOCKS FROM THE BUILDING.THE PRESENTATION WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A NETWORKING SESSION WITH HEAVY APPETIZERS AND A HOSTED BAR. Lessons of a Failed Kaizen Event will help any Lean practitioner avoid the pitfalls of change in an organization. It will outline the steps necessary for assuring alignment between management and a project team through real examples of failure (which is the 1st step to success).

Integrated Process for Document Quality Assurance Date: Thursday, July 17, 2014 Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM Location: Holiday Inn – Capitol Plaza |
||
DENIS J. STROUP, LIONAKIS
In most cases, design teams have good internal quality and coordination process for their own disciplines. At determined design iterations, SD, DD, CD, etc., they are typically sent to one party where a single individual reviews and “throws the comments back over the fence.” Denis J. Stroup of Lionakis will offer a more collaborative and integrated method for design document quality assurance. This course will provide an overview of a more integrated Quality Assurance/Quality Control than the traditional method. Teams will learn to appraise the internal quality and coordination process for their own disciplines, and analyze the common practice of determined design iterations – schematic design, detailed design, etc. – wherein a single party or individual reviews and valuable input/feedback is lost.
