Combining Lean and Agile in Construction
July 25th, 2006 by HalAgile and Lean theories were used to design the mechanical and electrical construction processes. The success of a lean/agile design is to improve safety and productivity. The design incorporates automotive approaches for modular assembly with pulse-driven (paced) production. Has a goal to drive labor off the construction site to improve productivity and quality.
Design of a Lean and Agile Construction System
Peter Court, et al
"(Local) improvisations occur naturally unless you bring design intentions."
The system has three planning and coordination components:
- Modules (sub-assemblies)
- Components
- Consumables
Each has different work release and replenishment. Peter has learned to keep the implementation simple. He says, "Avoid explaining the theory."
Peter's lean/agile design will get tested next year when mechanical and electrical work begins. He promises to report on the results.
