Many of the struggles that we are currently experiencing when
attempting to implement Lean in the construction environment are
the direct result of applying Lean tools out of proper context.
Understanding Lean as an overall operating system will help to
avert this all too common pitfall. An in-depth exploration of the
application of Lean initiatives in the construction industry, Lean
Culture for the Construction Industry: Building Responsible and
Committed Project Teams, Second Edition provides updated chapters
with new insights on the relationships between owners, architects,
general contractors and subcontractors - demonstrating how Kaizan
events focused on building positive culture through
vulnerability-based trust improved processes and eliminated work
stoppages. Lean tools alone don't lead to successful Lean
initiatives: the missing piece is culture. Written by a veteran
consultant in the construction field, the book draws a connection
between how construction professionals act as leaders and how their
attitude and behavior affect productivity and waste daily. While
value stream mapping is an important tool for righting broken
processes and resolving conflicts, future state maps will fail if
leaders continue to work in silos, protect their territories, and
don't see that their success is directly tied to the success of
their co-leaders. The author expands the notion of ethics beyond
the simple litmus test of right and wrong, so team leaders can
adopt professional and productive attitudes and behaviors toward
the implementation of Lean improvements. This book demonstrates
how, in an industry where waste is rampant, and depends on wide
range of people and personalities to successfully build a job, Lean
thinking can make the difference between a profitable, competitive
construction team, and mass inefficiencies, stunted profitability,
and lost future opportunities.
