Facilities management professionals… here is an introduction to a LEAN Implementation ROADMAP for CONSTRUCTION, including all the processes, tools, and support services you need to consistently drive quality, on-time, and on-budget repair, renovation, and new builds. LEAN is a philosophy dating back as far as Henry Ford.
BIM (Building Information Technology) and THE CLOUD (Cloud Computing) are disruptive technologies converging to significantly alter traditional construction and facility management practices. Building Information Management (BIM) is the life-cycle management of facilities [1] supported by digital technology.
Key Topics / Take Aways: Identify and advance technologies, processes, and management practices that improve the performance of federal facilities over their entire life-cycle, from planning to disposal. The “how” of measuring investment successes. The “how” of measuring investment successes. Potential to quantify.
Asset Competency Model & Efficient Facility Management #101. Until Owners understand and are capable of organizational wide deployment of ASSET COMPETENCY MODELS, productivity across the AEC and Facility Management sector will remain poor. Developing and Managing PEOPLE. Developing and Managing PEOPLE.
The Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Owner (AECOO) sector must engage in collaborative construction delivery methods in over achieve any measurableperformance improvement in the life-cycle management of the built environment. Building Information Management, Model and Modeling.
The efficient renovation, repair, maintenance and new construction of facilities and infrastructure has proven an insurmountable challenge for most real property Owners. Change management . Efficient construction delivery methods have been available and successfully practiced for decades. Owner Roadblock.
Optimize Facility Renovation, Repair, and Construction Delivery with Robust Business Processes. Real Property Owners, Contractors, Architects, and Engineers are under tremendous pressure to innovate, accelerate projectdelivery times, and minimize costs. Many AEC organizations find these objectives difficult to achieve.
Optimize Facility Renovation, Repair, and Construction Delivery with Robust Business Processes. Real Property Owners, Contractors, Architects, and Engineers are under tremendous pressure to innovate, accelerate projectdelivery times, and minimize costs. Many AEC organizations find these objectives difficult to achieve.
Sustainable Facilities Management will require a fundamental change in mindset. Even though tools and services are readily available to consistently deliver quality, on time and on budget repair, renovation, maintenance, and new build outcomes, real property owners and facilities management professionals have yet to adopt system thinking.
Proven collaborative construction delivery methods have existed for decades. Today, tools and services are readily available to support any real property owner with requisite levels of leadership and competency. LEAN Collaborative Construction Planning, Procurement, and ProjectDelivery. Technology. Proven Solutions.
Public and Private Sector Real Property Owners as well as their supporting Contractors and AEs continue to lag with respect to construction software technology and training and the adoption of efficient collaborative construction delivery methods. Traditional design-bid-build and low-bid are inefficient and antagonistic.
Link built environment to organizational mission and efficiently manage all physical and functional aspects. Implement Projects – IntegratedProjectDelivery (Job Order Contracting – JOC – renovation, repair, sustainability, minor new construction, IPD – new construction).
Partnering and collaboration must be a key performance metric by which real property owners and facility management professionals are measured. Adoption of LEAN Alternative Construction Delivery Methods – Job Order Contracting, JOC & IntegratedProjectDelivery (IPD).
Job order contracting is neither difficult to understand, nor costly to practice, yet is virtually assures the consistent delivery of quality, on-time, on-budget repair, renovation, and new construction projects…if designed, deployed, and managed correctly. Typical JOC Project Workflow – CIty.
Any real property owner and their service providers can leverage collaborative projectdelivery to increase efficiency and reduce design, construction, and life-cycle costs. The surest path to measurably achieving this goal is to change the construction project procurement and delivery method.
Job order contracting is neither difficult to understand, nor costly to practice, yet is virtually it assures the consistent delivery of quality, on-time, on-budget repair, renovation, and new construction projects…if the JOC Program is designed, deployed, and managed correctly. Typical JOC Project Workflow – CIty.
The construction delivery method and its associated contractual framework affects the outcome of any repair, renovation, or new construction project more than any other single element. Similarly technology vendors have marketing their solutions as opposed to integrated proven LEAN process within technology.
The LEAN Integrated Construction ProjectDelivery Method. . Traditional design-bid-build (DBB) construction delivery was too inefficient for the large numbers of renovation, repair, and sustainment/maintenance projects. Associated delays were negatively impacting the Army’s mission.
Capital costs associated with repairing, renovating, and constructing buildings and other forms of physical infrastructure are out of control for many, if not most real property owners. The lack of robust procurement and construction delivery methods and to the lack of true financial visibility and control.
The solution to delivery renovation, repair, and new construction project on-time, on-budget, and to the satisfaction of all participants is remarkably simple. Real property owners are ultimately responsible the construction sector’s low productivity. Focus upon Outcomes – Metrics, key performance indicators, KPIs.
While LEAN principles, as defined for production systems, originated from the Japanese manufacturing industry, LEAN construction delivery methods have evolved to meet the requirements of real property owners and the AEC sector. Collaborative “LEAN” collaborative construction delivery methods actually predate the term LEAN!

Collaborative “LEAN” collaborative construction delivery methods actually predate the term LEAN!
The way to deliver 96%+ of renovation, repair, and maintenance projects on-time, on-budget, and at the appropriate level of quality is to enable collaboration with contractors and other expert service providers. – 2016, Arizona State University – Job Order Contracting Performance Survey-2015.
Facilities Operations & Maintenance Management considerations span several areas. Metrics/Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Facilities Operations & Maintenance Management. A comprehensive written facilities management operations and maintenance manual and/or execution guide is a fundamental requirement.
LEAN, Quality, On-Time, On-Budget Construction Delivery Shouldn’t be this hard! . Any LEAN process, but especially LEAN Construction Delivery Process has the following attributes. Metrics – key performance indicators. Sure, there is a lot of confusion about both LEAN and LEAN construction. Focus upon outcomes.
You might assume that real property owners are demonstrating competence and leadership and using proven collaborative construction delivery methods, tools, and information to drive improved outcomes. The cause is well know, the processes, workflows, tools, and information being deployed prevent projects from being well managed.
Facilities operations involving multiple sites and building types/ages can be efficiently managed with the right mix of global oversight and local execution as well as consistent application of LEAN best management practices.
Repair, Renovation, & Construction Project Cost Management. Prioritize and Budget Requirements Every real property owner is face with aligning organizational requirements with facilities repair, renovation, and construction needs as well as available current and projected multi-year resources.
Building Information Modeling Model Management. BIM is a term which represents three separate but linked functions: Building Information Modeling: Is a BUSINESS PROCESS for generating and leveraging building data to design, construct and operate the building during its lifecycle. Construction Delivery Method.
The efficient life-cycle management of the built environment will not happen until change management is accelerated. Efficient construction delivery methods (IPD – integratedprojectdelivery, JOC – job order contracting), cloud computing, and BIM are all integral components.
