Unit 1

Variation in Production Systems

Lean Construction challenges all project stakeholders to develop and apply better ways to manage the overall construction process. Unit 1: Variation in Production Systems is a half-day course that introduces one of the foundational concepts of Lean Construction, variation. All work on a construction project is connected and variation in even one part affects the entire project. This course provides the necessary tools for participants to recognize sources of variation on their own projects, examine variation's detrimental effect on operations, and mitigate its effects.
