Lean in Safety (Southern Florida CoP)
February 26, 2021 @ 9:00 am – 10:15 am
Read more >>The Road To 6S: Moving the Safety Meter
The construction industry remains one of the most hazardous industries in the United States in terms of the number of occupational fatal and non-fatal injuries. Workplace accidents can have a negative impact on cost, schedule, and quality. Therefore, it can be argued that improving workplace safety is a form of waste reduction and value generation. Thus, utilizing lean thinking will help to improve workplace safety.
Speaker:
Christian Quintero has been with Turner Construction since 2018. He graduated from Slippery Rock University with a degree in Safety Management. He has performed roles with Turner both in the Healthcare and Aviation markets. In 2019 he helped champion a lean initiative that helped gain a National Go & See recognition at his project FLL Terminal 2, which is ongoing.

A VIRTUAL Lean Coffee (Southern Florida CoP)
September 11, 2020 @ 9:30 am – 11:00 am
Read more >>WHAT IS LEAN COFFEE?
Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants gather, build an agenda, and begin talking. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting was democratically generated.
WHERE DID LEAN COFFEE START?
Lean Coffee started in Seattle in 2009. Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith wanted to start a group that would discuss Lean techniques in knowledge work – but didn’t want to start a whole new cumbersome organization with steering committees, speakers, and such. They wanted a group that did not rely on anything other than people showing up and wanting to learn or create..
This is going to be an interactive session and joining from your mobile device may be frustrating. For that reason, we are only allowing attendees to join from your computer. We also ask that everyone #turnyourcameraon and come ready to actively participate! It will enrich the experience for all participants.
Speaker: Brian Winningham, Field Driven Lean
A Lean Construction consultant who spent over 20 years estimating, planning, managing and leading construction projects and teams, Brian is passionate about sharing the benefits of Lean Construction. He’s the leader emeritus of the San Antonio LCI Community of Practice (CoP). He is an approved instructor for LCI training courses and for the AGC Lean Construction Education Program (AGC-LCEP). He’s an Army Ranger Veteran and active with Veterans in his community.

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.
We benchmarked 162 projects and inquired about 27 management methods Research results now demonstrate statistically significant correlations between high Lean intensity and project success This effort definitively breaks down some common myths about Lean project work, and makes a compelling case that Lean makes a positive difference in project performance.
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.

Come and Join us for Lean Coffee! 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. Attendance is free of charge.
