Lean Construction Ireland Annual Book of Cases 2021 6 l f 2 Chapter 4: Modern Methods of Construction and Resource Management Chapter 4 case studies relate to lean for prefabrication and resource management.The ACB group are working towards Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) using lean principles. In their case study, they utilised BIM and the PDCA tool to develop its prefabrication model further by seeking to incorporate the final 10% of building finishes such as flashings, gutters, louvres, and roof boxes.The next case is by Horizon Offsite,who give an overview of how they are adopting a continuous improvement culture across their design for manufacturing and assembly operations.Through workplace and factory optimisation, performance tracking and data visualisation,Horizon have increased productivity and reduced non-conformances. Ardmac have taken a data led approach to developing lean behaviours on complex projects in their case study. The case related to a hyperscale data centre on a brownfield site, where nine organisations needed to work on an integrated project team. By using a High PerformanceTeam model, human behaviour was improved to promote collaboration and increase productivity. In the next case study, DPS Engineering developed an effective resource mobilisation process using lean thinking.Using the DMAIC tool,DPS identified,managed, and controlled typical roadblocks and opportunities within the resourcing value streams and supply chain and made impressive improvements. Chapter 5: LCi Course Portfolio Development In Chapter 5, the LCi Course Portfolio is outlined. Some background to the development of the courses is provided as well as the objectives of the LCiWhite,Yellow and Green Belt.A summary of the first LCIYellow Belt course delivery at Coffey is also provided. To support the course portfolio, a training process was established by LCi to allow for the effective nomination and evaluation of trainers and access to standardised course material, templates and surveys. Several lean services providers were consulted to ensure this process will work with all stakeholders.To conclude, LCi highlight the significance of the belt portfolio and encourage companies to upskill their workforce, develop their lean capabilities and ultimately improve their productivity. If you would like to provide a case study in future publications, please email info@leanconstructionireland.ie. Chapter 6: Glossary of Terms and Concepts The main terms and concepts relating to lean in construction have been compiled into a useful glossary.This has been developed from many different resources, including the glossary available for the Lean Construction Institute.
