Lean Happy Hour
Join us for a Lean (Coffee) Happy Hour to learn and support each other in our Lean endeavors! Take part in an open conversation in a safe, small and low-pressure environment about the topics that are relevant to our Lean community. We want to hear about the problems you are solving, the issues you want to solve, and lessons you’ve learned on your Lean Journey. No previous Lean experience is required. Participants from cross functional roles as designers, constructors, owners, trades partners, and associations propose discussion topics around any subject about which they want to learn – THERE ARE NO IRRELEVANT DISCUSSION TOPICS! Each proposer takes 15 to 30 seconds to pitch their topic, written on a sticky note, to the group. Once all topics have been pitched, voting begins to establish a priority for discussing the topics. Topics are then ordered from highest to lowest votes and examined accordingly. Participants will receive 8 minutes of time to discuss the topic. After 8 minutes there will be a ‘thumbs up/ thumbs down’ to decide whether or not the discussion should continue. Thumbs up equals 4 more minutes on the clock. This happens until it is agreed that the topic has been discussed to satisfaction. Takeaways are considered and then the topic with the next largest amount of votes is addressed. Come as you are and be ready to learn.

Despite understanding the purpose and benefits of the principles and tools of Lean Design & Construction, project leadership still often struggles when it comes to achieving true team engagement and culture change. Lack of understanding between project management and trade last planners, lack of training/coaching, and inadequate preparation often lead to a failure to achieve the true engagement that leads to real project success. This webinar will focus on some of the common pitfalls of a Lean initiative, what a truly engaged team looks like, and suggestions to achieve that engagement on your projects.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe attributes of a truly engaged Lean team
• Identify the pitfalls that lead to a less-than-optimal lean implementation
• Understand ways to improve team engagement
• Understand the preparation required to conduct a meaningful weekly planning meeting

Different Ways to Contract for Lean Project Delivery
As the awareness and embrace of Lean Construction continues to expand in the construction industry, ever-increasing numbers of projects grapple with the question of how to address Lean Construction principles and methods in their design and construction contracts. Project owners have taken primarily three approaches on this:
• Seeking the highest level of Lean performance, owners have used Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) agreements, such as the ConsensusDocs 300, sometimes called integrated forms of agreement (IFOAs).
• When they or their team are not willing or able to use an IPD agreement, other owners have used legal counsel to custom-draft design and construction contracts under more conventional project delivery models such as CM-at-Risk, to address Lean design and construction methodologies.
• Other owners will seek to promote Lean behaviors among the project team independent of what is in the design and construction contracts.
Now, project teams have new options for contracting for a Lean project when they cannot implement an IPD Agreement. In 2018, ConsensusDocs published two important contract documents for collaborative construction projects: (1) the ConsensusDocs 305 Lean Construction Addendum (CD305); and (2) the ConsensusDocs 541 Design-Assist Addendum (CD541).
With the CD305, for the first time we have a non-IPD contract document available to the whole industry that provides for a wide spectrum of Lean design and construction practices. To use the CD305, an Owner can start with either an industry standard form front-end contract or its own standard contract and add to it a Lean Construction Addendum that reflects the best thinking in the industry around Lean design and construction.
The CD541 provides terms and conditions for the design and construction team when the CM and key trades are engaged during the design phase to provide design-assist services. Design-assist has been a major trend of the last several years and a key accelerant to Lean Project Delivery, but there has not been a standard industry approach to defining what design-assist services involve and what terms and conditions should apply. The CD541 is the first industry standard contract form to tackle the difficult task of defining the range of design-assist services and providing appropriate contract terms. By gaining the early involvement of builders’ expertise and coordinating those efforts with design teams, teams achieve greater project cohesion and efficiency. The CD541 was intentionally designed to coordinate with the CD305 Lean Construction Addendum so that they can work together or stand independent.
Tonight’s event will discuss the different ways to contract for Lean Project Delivery, with discussion of IPD agreements, using Design-Build for Lean Project Delivery, and CM-at-Risk using the new CD305 and CD541.
Learning Objective: Understand currently available contracting methods for fostering Lean project delivery including IPD, Design-Build, and CM-at-Risk, as well as how the new ConsensusDocs 305 Lean Construction Addendum and ConsensusDocs 541 Design-Assist Addendum can help projects achieve greater success in Lean Project Delivery

Clark Construction’s design build team at the San Diego State University Engineering and Interdisciplinary Sciences Project used the big room concept as a selling point to the University for how the team was going to streamline construction, both on the project management side and the field supervision side. In theory, having all partners; GC, major scope subcontractors, the construction manager, and the inspectors working together daily in the same room for the entire duration of the building construction and closeout is an environment created for success:- no wasted time making phone calls to people you may not get a hold of- instantaneous confirmation – near complete transparency from foreman to owner – higher “quick setup” meeting flexibility- higher FPY/(100% CA) verbal and written communication; transferable work products that pass from field to office without wasted interpretation or translation time. Problems can’t hide for long… In theory, it’s the most ideal work environment that can be created……Reality is a different story
Motivation: The motivation is to make this system work because it should be the most ideal work environment that can be created. Everyone should be afforded the collaborative advantage- without the growing pains.
Learning Objective: With the team now having started a second consecutive collocated project. Share tips on how to make the collaborative “Big Room” environment work.

To address these knowledge gaps, this talk presents a new visual production management system that easily and quickly captures, communicates and analyzes actual and potential construction performance problems. To ensure its implementation does not take away from actual productivity, the web-based system extends the value of 4D (3D+time) Building Information Models (BIM) commonly used for constructability review as a benchmark for performance. Likewise, it takes advantage from images and videos frequently collected by project participants or professional services via smartphone and drone cameras to visually document actual performance. These images and videos are used together with a cloud-based computer vision and machine learning platform to continuously map the current state of production in 3D and then 4D. The 4D point clouds and their associated still images and videos are integrated and compared continuously with the 4D BIM Plan to expose actual waste and highlight potential issues by forecasting reliability in project look-ahead schedules. Experimental results from implementing this system on several real-world construction projects will be shared to demonstrate how these visual production models together with actionable data analytics on construction performance can proactively support collaborative decision making that eliminates root causes of waste. The system also provides visual interfaces between people and information that enable effective pull flow, decentralize work tracking and facilitate in-process quality control and hand-overs among contractors.

LCI San Diego Community of Practice presents Incentive Programs for a Design-Build Public Work Project — A Case Study from the SDSU Zura Hall Student Residence ProjectDate: Thursday, September 17, 2015 Time: 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM Location: Balfour Beatty |
|
| An in depth case study of how a comprehensive incentive program was implemented on a $37.5M Design-Build Student Housing Renovation Project at San Diego State University. Discover how an IPD concept like project incentive programs can be successfully integrated into a public design-build (non-IPD) contract. Hear how the team determined what performance criteria to incentivize and track progress on. Learn how individual project team members and trade partners participated in the incentive program
Our presentation will focus on the practical applications of an incentive program, and how well the program actually worked out at the end of the project compared to our initial intent for the program. By presenting with a case study format, it will better equip attendees with knowledge of the lessons learned from our experience with the incentive program. In this way, audience members wishing to implement an incentive program for their own projects can be more prepared than we were when we initially set up our program. This presentation will also help further dispel the myth that Lean Concepts only apply on IPD projects. Justin A. Maletic is a Senior Project Manager for Balfour Beatty Construction and also functions as an Integration Manager for the company to bring the best lean collaboration processes to project teams. His most recent work around project integration involves the development of a Project Incentive program for the SDSU Residence Hall Renovation Project.

| Last Planner® System (LPS) has long proven itself in planning and executing construction projects. And many use it in pre-construction. But is it only for foremen and superintendents or can design teams find high value using LPS?
YES! Says the experience of 11 design teams coached by this session’s leader, Dan Fauchier, CMF, of The ReAlignment Group of California. In this hands-on session all participants will play roles of design team members and actually pull plan a chunk of the design phase using multi-colored post-its and a format unique to design. Discover first hand:
Dan Fauchier is a Certified Master Facilitator for Lean Design and Construction, facilitating, training and coaching dozens of contractors, designers, developers and public agencies in the principles, tools and techniques of Last Planner® System (pull planning), Root Cause Analysis, Value Stream Mapping, Rapid Improvement (Kaizen) Events, Lean Partnering and cross-organizational team effectiveness. Dan currently coaches 17 project teams all over Northern and Southern California and since 2009 has coached over 60 lean project teams.

THE AIRPLANE GAME SIMULATION HAS BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY BY THOSE TEACHING HOW LEAN CONCEPTS APPLY TO PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. INSTRUCTORS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT EVOLVE DURING THE SIMULATION TO LINK THEORY AND PRACTICE IN A HANDS-ON EXERCISE. PARTICIPANTS IN THE SIMULATION OFTEN PRAISE THE ABILITY OF THIS EXERCISE TO PRODUCE INSIGHTS REGARDING THE CURRENT STATE OF PRACTICES IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE IMPROVED. COMMENTS ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS SIMULATION IN ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL SETTING ABOUND. MOREOVER, PARTICIPANTS ARE EXPOSED IN A SHORT INTERVAL OF TIME TO POWERFUL CONCEPTS THAT ARE QUICKLY TRANSLATED TO THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENTS. THE SIMULATION WILL RAISE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT BATCH SIZES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH QUALITY OF WORK DONE, CYCLE TIMES, LEAD TIMES, AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF WORK AMONG PARTICIPANTS. THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE FIRST HAND HOW SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPTS RELATED TO LEAN WORK IN PRACTICE AND TO SHARE INSIGHTS WITH A DIVERSE GROUP OF PARTICIPANTS WHO OFTEN INTERACT IN PROJECT SETTINGS BUT USUALLY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO STOP AND DISCUSS THE CURRENT STATE OF PRACTICE.Speaker: Thais Alves, Assistant Professor, J.R. Filanc Construction Engineering and Management Program, Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering – San Diego State University Alves specializes in construction management and project-based production systems and is very active in the local and the international Lean Construction communities of practice. Her areas of interest include the application of lean production/construction concepts, principles, and tools to improve the performance of production systems in field and office settings. For more than 10 years, she has been teaching, advising students, researching and collaborating with construction companies towards the dissemination and implementation of lean especially in the field of production planning and control at construction sites. Alves has published extensively on the topic of lean construction implementation, and her work is documented in over 80 publications including journal and conference papers, book chapters, and reports. She holds a B.S. and Master’s in Civil Engineering from Brazilian universities, UFRN and UFRGS respectively, and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley with an emphasis in Engineering and Project Management.

SIAN ROBERTS, FAIA, DBIA, LEED AP, PARTNER – – MILLER|HULL PARTNERSHIPSian Roberts, FAIA, DBIA, LEED AP is a partner with the Miller|Hull Partnership where she has led design teams on civic, educational and infrastructure projects throughout the Northwest. Her projects include a variety of academic buildings and libraries for public and higher education clients. Her projects have won AIA awards for design, the innovative use of BIM and excellence in design-build. Sian has a special interest in alternative delivery and has been involved in most of the firm’s design-build projects. Sian has a Masters in Science in Physics from Haverford College and a Masters in Architecture from the University of Washington. She has been an instructor at the University of Washington and for the AIA +2030 series and is a regular guest juror. She has spoken on changes in practice, sustainability and library design at DBIA, AIA and PLA conferences and events. Close integration among all team members under a GC/CM contract for the University of Washington Odegaard Undergraduate Library allowed the team to be in construction nine months after hiring the architect and meet a critical summer closure deadline. A Collaboration Guide and scorecard were drafted with members of the owner, architect and contractor team and included specific goals for everything from meeting the schedule to response time on RFI’s to use of the facility upon completion. The team leadership from all three entities was instrumental in keeping the teams focused on project and not individual firm performance. The status of the scorecard was reviewed at each meeting leading to accountability and teamwork with the common goal improving the score. During the project, each team member proved their value in areas that are typically the domain of others. Lean construction techniques were not only implemented on site by the General Contract, they were also used by the design team. Pull planning sessions were used to address the challenging schedule and value stream mapping was used for the RFI and submittal process to streamline construction communication.

DAN FAUCHIER, CERTIFIED MASTER FACILITATOR FOR LEAN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTIONDan Fauchier is a Certified Master Facilitator for Lean Design and Construction, facilitating, training and coaching dozens of contractors, designers, developers and public agencies in the principles, tools and techniques of Last Planner® System (pull planning), Root Cause Analysis, Value Stream Mapping, Rapid Improvement (Kaizen) Events, Lean Partnering and cross-organizational team effectiveness. As Senior Lean Facilitator of Denver-based The ReAlignment Group, Dan lives in Del Mar and currently coaches 15 project teams all over Northern and Southern California and since 2009 has coached over 60 lean project teams. Dan will discuss how a dozen or more project teams (design and construction – current and past) have implemented Last Planner(R) System (LPS), the triumphs and stumbles, the pitfalls and challenges, on a variety of project types (schools, hospitals, prisons, commercial, residential). He will share case histories, show photos, demonstrate his energetic 15 minute kickoff explanation of LPS (it will give you some ideas on tightly coupling learning with action), give tips on facilitating LPS sessions, and take lots of questions. Other than photos there won’t be much PowerPoint. This session will be mostly action and inter-action. Suggested reading before the session: Dan’s and Dr. Thais Alves’ IGLC21 Paper on Last Planner as the Gateway to Lean Behaviors: http://alves.sdsu.edu/Papers/Fauchier-Alves-2013-LPS_Is_The_Gateway_To_Lean_Behaviors.pdf
