Unit 5: Lean Thinking Outside of Field Production
In Unit 5 we show how the six tenets are applied to the other parts of project delivery.
- Lesson 1 - Lean Project Delivery
Describes how Lean is applied to the whole project delivery system. It explains the purpose and recognizes the advantages of cross-functional teams, and why value should be defined early in the project life cycle.- Lesson 2 - Lean in the Supply Chain
Looks at improvements that can be made exclusively within the supply chain with an understanding of customer value but without involving changes by design or construction.- Lesson 3 – Lean in Design
Describes how value creation in design focuses on identifying and meeting customer needs through efficient and effective design processes.- Lesson 4 – Process Improvement & Problem Solving
Explains how effective problem solving is focused on proactively preventing the same type of problem from occurring again because it addresses root causes. It creates a culture of problem solving where everyone brings problems forward and collaboratively works to resolve them.
