Lean Construction Principles Sample Clauses

Lean Construction Principles a. This project will utilize Lean construction principles in planning and implementation of the Work. This will include a milestone schedule, collaboratively created phase schedule, "make-ready" look-ahead plans, weekly work plans, and a method for measuring, recording, and improving planning reliability. It is agreed and understood that all trade packages and their appropriate sub tiers shall participate in Pull Planning sessions with each new phase of work with the purpose of creating a collaborative phase schedule and identifying constraints for each activity of work. Individuals who understand how the work will be performed shall be directly involved in the planning process. The schedule developed in these Pull Planning sessions will be used to create the 6-week look ahead schedule. The look-ahead schedule will track whether any constraints (issues that would prevent the work from being performed as planned) exist. It is every contractor's responsibility to actively identify and resolve constraints prior to the Work. Additionally, every contractor shall report variations from the plan for tracking planning reliability and assessing root cause of variations for purposes of continuously improving planning reliability. I. This project will be using the Last Planner System for improving the level of coordination, planning, and controlling of the scheduling of work for this project. II. This project will be utilizing the principles of 5S to improve jobsite cleanliness, safety and work efficiency. All tradespersons entering the site will receive training on the principles of 5S and will be expected to keep their workspace orderly. III. Due to site constraints BNBuilders will require just-in-time delivery principles for all materials coming to the site as a means to improve the flow of work on site, reduce clutter, reduce the potential of damaging finished materials, and eliminate the waste of moving material multiple times before it is installed in its final condition. These deliveries shall be closely coordinated with the superintendent and onsite staff through weekly planning sessions. b. This project will implement modularization and prefabrication of building assembly systems in an effort to improve the quality of finished products and the efficiency and safety of onsite work. A fully coordinated building information model will assist in reviewing the shop and fabrication drawings of particular systems to determine opportunities for prefabrication of mul...
