2nd Annual LCI Australia - Increasing productivity
and client satisfaction
You will agree that there is a lot of waste in the
processes of our sector the newly formed LCI Australia network is bringing the
focus back to improving the processes and outcomes delivered by our sector.
Lean business practices bring the focus back to increasing value for the
client, eliminating non value adding inputs and making sure all work flows
reliably.
Consider joining your industry colleagues at the
2nd Annual LCI Australia conference, the annual gathering for senior managers,
industry leaders and Lean practitioners who are focussed on improving the
efficiency of business practices and outcomes in our sector. Only 2 weeks to go

The 2012 conference will bring 60-70 attendees

networking over the course of the 2 days conference, workshop and Industry Dinner.
We invite you to share your experience and views as we delve into this year’s
theme: Increasing productivity and client satisfaction
LCI 2012 will provide an overview and insight into
the general practice of LEAN. Starting and sustaining an ongoing transformation
on projects or in organisations, understanding the resistance to and motivation
for change. The conference offers industry speakers full of case studies,
experiences sharing the problems they have encountered in implementing lean
thinking in their workplaces and solutions. Indications and examples of costs
and benefits achieved through Lean implementation and sharing the results,
including both traditional measures and longer term benefits are some of the
tangible benefits of attending LCI 2012.

CASE STUDY - Building lean capability Angela Corriero and Hunter Dean, Chase Performance / Systemix
Resistance to and motivation for change are key
factors in determining successful Lean project delivery.
Angela is a Lean culture specialist who spent
considerable time with Toyota in Japan and using this global experience will
illustrate how problems can be eliminated before they even start – it’s a
matter of building Lean capability into not only your project delivery, but
within your fundamental business development
structure.

CASE STUDY - Lean Construction for
Home Builders Brian
Levitan, Managing Director, Lean Australia
In March 2011 the NSW Government organised a
program aimed at construction companies and their suppliers. 10 companies
signed up, in Dubbo and Mudgee consisting of 2 Builders, 4 Construction support
service, and 4 mining/mining Support companies. This session describes the
program, training challenges for the level of staff, success factors,
roadblocks, and results for example Scott Hawkins Homes have reduced the time
to build a house by 30% using Lean
construction tools, and can build 30% more houses
with the same overhead. Most importantly, although the ‘Project’ finished over
a year ago, the companies have internalised the culture change, and are still
engaged in ongoing continuous improvement.
·
CASE STUDY - Techniques for improving
productivity and client satisfaction Alex
Kunz and Mick Jackson, Gehry technologies, Blue Ocean Consulting
Examples where the implementation of new processes and technology has
led to project-wide performance improvement of commercial and civil
construction projects. Particular focus will be on non-financial improvements
and their corollary effect on project financial performance.
Lean practices, tools like ‘Last Planner’ and
cultural alignment are explored through interactive sessions in 2 half day
workshops on 29th August. I have attached the conference brochure so you can
see the full speaker line up and it’s an exciting mix this year.
