LCIAF Goal
The Academic Forums primary goal is to further and encourage serious considerations of lean construction education and training for professionals entering the architectural / engineering / construction industry (AEC).
Spread the LC message, get academics on board to teach it in college/university classrooms and conduct research.

Students typically dont have a problem learning new material, but it is more difficult to unlearn what they already know. It is very important to assess students understanding of the traditional CM process and correct any misperceptions. The students should be allowed to discover problems with current CM practices through discussions of pertinent reading material as well as case studies and instructor own experiences. This will make them more receptive to the lean construction ideas.

Company structure; Multiple project attributes Project breakdown according to contract, specs , dwgs; cost; time; resource control Activity status against budgeted cost/time; resources use Today, CM focuses on this box!!! Focus on day-to-day functions. Choice of construction methods. Decisions on activity sequencing. Management of trade interactions)

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
INFORMATION
SHOULD
The SHOULDs are placed on a timeline; what we eventually call a CPM SCHEDULE (created with minimum team input; overlooks prevailing conditions on site; assumes activities are independent entities)
T. Abdelhamid - LCIAF 2004 21
SHOULD
RESOURCES
DID
Current project control focuses only on should vs. did ; Develop recovery plans; Hope project gets on track; Deviation-based control
T. Abdelhamid - LCIAF 2004 22
LC Teaching at MSU
Current State
Projects seldom finish on time/budget/quality Far too many claims!!!
We ignore value to the customer (Get involved too late) We only manage the project; ignoring production We use deviation-based control We focus on local productivity not system throughput improvement
Our hit-miss ratio is very low (high input-low output systems)

LC Teaching at MSU
Lean Production
is a production philosophy which shortens the time line between the customer order and the product shipment by eliminating waste and maximizing value to the customer.

Why Lean?
Compared to conventional manufacturing principles, products manufactured using lean principles have required significantly less resources to produce and have resulted in the following (Technology Century 10/2001):
1. Productivity gains of 300 to 400%. 2. Labor productivity increased an average of 25% a year. 3. Defect rates reduced from more than 2000 to less than 50 parts per million (PPM) and in many to less than 10 PPM. 4. Cost of quality cut by over 60%. 5. Work-in-process inventory slashed by more than 80%. 6. Revenue per 1000 square feet of factory space was raised 350 %.

7 Forms of Waste
CORRECTION WAITING
Repair or Rework
MOTION
Any wasted motion to pick up parts or stack parts. Also wasted walking
PROCESSING
Doing more work than is necessary
Types of Waste
OVERPRODUCTION
Producing more than is needed before it is needed
INVENTORY
Maintaining excess inventory of raw matls, parts in process, or finished goods.
CONVEYANCE
Wasted effort to transport materials, parts, or finished goods into or out of storage, or between processes.
Add to this list any other factors pertinent to your company or industry.The concept is what matters

Last Planner is the final person who gives the assignment to crew to actually perform the work The last planner system is a production control and workflow system designed to:
Empower front-line personnel to make decision about what work to commit to; Shielding; PPC = production system variability Improve workflow by ensuring that future work is READY !! Lookahead process: a pull process!!!

Examples of LC Teaching
David Ford - dford@civilmail.tamu.edu (Texas A&M university Civil Engineering)
Present Lean as a general concept to facilitate transfer across applications. Describe construction as a service supply chain and then discuss management approaches, including traditional push, which opens the door to describe pull as an alternative. Discuss size of inventories and the opportunity to reduce these costs by controlling inventories and adjusting production rates. Transparent models of construction systems are used to demonstrate the conventional versus lea-based thinking. I do not explicitly call these things "Lean", but could and would if I had the materials to facilitate that.
