There are five guiding principles that provide the vision and direction to a LEAN journey in construction.
01: Identify Customer Value - Three types of work in every task
02: Map the Value System - Typical Project Delivery
Value-stream map is a tool that helps us view & understand the flow of material, activities, tasks & information as a product makes its way through the value stream.
03: Create the Flow - Systems thinking optimize the whole value stream
04: Establish Pull - Giving customers what they want when they want it
In a pull system, the customer’s demand is what sparks the activity leading to product development in ways that satisfy that demand.
In a push system, product development is based on a forecast and then push out to the market.
05: Seek Perfection - Plan-Do-Check-Adjust (PDCA)
The PDCA model can be utilized whenever changes are made or improvements are sought. A breakdown of the four individual steps and how one cycle leads to the next is given below:
