When we poll construction executives regarding their greatest industry challenges, inevitably the #1 challenge is the ability to stay competitive in an increasingly cost-driven marketplace. Other challenges include out of control supply chain, poorly managed projects, decreased productivity, quality control and a shrinking skilled workforce. One solution that impacts all of these challenges is the investment in an internal Prefabrication Process and facility. However, the implementation process can seem daunting, and the investment can be difficult to quantify. The job site is our primary place of business, and that place is not always conducive to a safe, lean installation or predictable outcomes. We believe the answer is to embrace a new business model; one that takes you away from the historical onsite approach to construction and moves you toward a lean standard work model performed in an off-site production space. This session will demonstrate the principles required for this Lean transformation. Further we will provide a methodology to calculate a return on investment from a Prefabrication operation. Attendees include Operations Managers, Project Managers, Project Executives, Group Executives, and Business Owners.
Following this course, participants will be able to:
• Calculate a return on investment of a prefabrication facility
• Learn the fundamental importance in the standardization of means and methods•Lean principles, sustainable management systems
• Benefits of measuring and leveraging key production metrics
• Understanding the power of increasing your standard work
• That gaining control of design to increase predictable outcomes
