PULL IN PRODUCTION
AGC of America Lean Education Program - Unit #2
February 4, 2016 | 12:30pm-5:00pm
Everyone related to the construction process has incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost - from the project owners who want to see tangible results for their investment to the contractors and designers who want to do their job well and move on to the next project. Lean Construction is based on the holistic pursuit of continuous improvements aimed at minimizing costs and maximizing value on a construction project: planning, design, construction, activation, operations, maintenance, salvaging, and recycling.
To help contractors develop the knowledge needed to build lean, the Associated General Contractors of America developed the Lean Construction Education Program. Construction professionals at all experience levels, will learn the building blocks necessary to transform their projects and companies into a lean operating system.
Objectives
- Compare batch andqueue and continuous flow production systems
- Distinguish push systems from pull systems
- Describe the impact of pull on production systems
- Explain pull strategies in construction operations
