A new course to close out 2018!

Published by Kerry Vital on November 21, 2018

We constantly strive to keep our course offerings up to date and relevant to the industry, so we aim to add new courses to our calendar several times a year! Our latest new workshop is Lean for Construction – A Practical Approach. We want to help you reduce costs, improve lead times, and foster collaboration by introducing key Lean concepts and how they can applied on a daily basis. Not sure what Lean for Construction is? Here’s a good overview.

Here’s what you’ll learn in our workshop:

A practical, jargon-free approach to Lean
Implement a culture of problem solving in 4 simple steps:

  • Define value from your customer’s perspective
  • Capture the current state: visually capture all activities required to bring the project from initiation to completion
    • The importance of value-adding work
    • How to capture the 8 types of waste
  • Develop the plan: prioritize wastes for elimination
  • Improve using Plan, Do, Check, Act: design and implement effective solutions

The resulting impact on costs, lead-time, quality, and culture 

The importance of team work and collaboration

This course is taking place in Burnaby on December 12; you’ll also earn 7.5 Group A CPD Points from BC Housing and 1 Gold Seal Credit! You can register for this or any of our other upcoming courses here.
