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. 

Program is packed with Case studies, tools and research all the details are available on the website; 

·         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.
