Dumping the 8 Wastes in Construction Using Technology

Construction is one of the least efficient industries — so much time is spent dealing with the day’s immediate fire drills from lawsuits and upset clients in the office to labor and materials shortages on jobsites. Many companies don’t feel like they have the time to focus on becoming more efficient, but that’s where most are wrong.

This session dives into the concept of lean construction, which is a thorough system of processes and behaviors that can transform the industry, and explains how lean thinking and processes deliver better employee retention, higher quality of life, safer worksites, and reduced waste.

After this session, you will be able to:

  • Identify eight types of waste in construction and what those forms of waste mean for a company’s and the industry’s future
  • Identify how specific wastes are directly affecting your company
  • Define how technology improves productivity in lean construction, resulting in huge gains on and off the jobsite
  • Determine how to select the best technology for increasing a construction company’s productivity
  • Determine how leaders should identify construction waste pain points and turn them into opportunities for change
