AGC LEAN CONSTRUCTION
EDUCATION PROGRAM
Everyone related to the construction process has incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost - from the project
owners who want to see tangible results for their investment, to the contractors and designers who want to do their job well and
move on to the next project. Lean Construction is based on the holistic pursuit of continuous improvements aimed at minimizing
costs and maximizing value on a construction project: planning, design, construction, activation, operations, maintenance,
salvaging, and recycling.
To help contractors develop the knowledge needed to build lean, the Associated General Contractors of America developed the
Lean Construction Education Program. Construction professionals at all experience levels will learn the building blocks necessary
to transform their projects and companies into a lean operating system.
The courses in this program will cover:
Unit 1: Variation in Production Systems is an introductory course in the Lean Construction Education Program. This half-day,
instructor-led course teaches the concept of variation.
Unit 2: Pull in Production is a half-day, instructor-led course that explains the concept of pull as a means to reliable production
workflow.
Unit 3: Lean Workstructuring is the first of two units that introduces the Last Planner® System (LPS). This system was developed by the
Lean Construction Institute (LCI) to plan projects in a way that produces predictable workflow and rapid learning. This half-day,
instructor-led course describes the process of Lean Workstructuring.
Unit 4: The Last Planner® System is the second of two units introducing the Last Planner® System (LPS). This system was developed
by the Lean Construction Institute (LCI) to plan projects in a way that produces predictable workflow and rapid learning. This half-
day, facilitator-led course shows how to conduct make-ready and weekly work-planning sessions.
Unit 5: Lean Supply Chain and Assembly is a one-day, instructor-led course that explains the concept of lean supply chain and
assembly.
Unit 6: Lean Design and Pre-construction is a half-day, instructor-led course that explains the concepts of value-based management,
lean in the design process and relational contracting.
Unit 7: Problem-solving Principles and Tools is a six-hour, instructor-led course that describes the Lean Problem Solving Process and
illustrates how to use tools to solve problems in a lean manner.
