Program: It is time for our annual joint chapter meeting with our friends in the Eastern PA Chapter of the AIA. Join us on Wednesday Jan. 18th as we discuss "A Design Approach to Lean Improvement from Pre-Design to Construction" with hosts Kimberly Ward, RN, BSN, MHA, MBB (Design and Process Innovations Coordinator at Riley Hospital for Children, Indianapolis, IN) and Bernita Beikmann, AIA (Associate Principal with HKS, Inc) via webinar.
Studies exist to show how Lean Construction Practices have improved scheduling, work predictability, and safety in construction projects. How can we bring this into the design and even into the pre design of the same project and get results? We will discuss how Lean Process Improvement was implemented into a healthcare project from Operation Improvement in Criteria Design, through Detailed Design, Implementation Documents and into construction on an IPD project. They will discuss the challenges and lessons learned for all players in the process, and share the success stories they are already seeing. They will also discuss how you can start implementing Lean in how you work regardless of project delivery type to improve success factors for yourself and your clients.
Buffet Dinner: TBA
