Lean Times

LCi Conference 2019

Lean Pass Training Course Development Team

On October 3rd the LCi hosted it’s second annual  one day Symposium in Croke Park. As reported in LEAN Times 79 this included several streams, keynote speakers and plenary sessions all based on the theme of “Lean Innovation– Inspiring our Future in Construction.”

One of the highlights of the day was the launch of the Lean Pass training course. This is a new course with the aim to provide participants with an introduction to the fundamentals of Lean and Lean in Construction, and to enable construction personnel speak the same Lean language onsite and in the office.

At the end of the 3 hour course, targeting everyone in the Construction Sector, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify the benefits of Lean in Construction
  2. Define the difference between Value and Waste
  3. Identify and reduce the 8 Types of Waste
  4. Give personal examples of Productive Work and Waste
  5. Give personal examples and suggestions of how to improve their own working environment using the 5S methodology.

Jones Engineering Lean Department has been delivering an LCi commended training course similar to the new Lean Pass course for the last four years. As our class meets all the criteria of the Lean Pass course anyone who has attended the Jones Engineering course will not have to complete the Lean Pass course and will be certified as having completed the training.

Ray Curley and Simon Watson from the Lean Department were part of the team  along with industry experts chosen by LCi to develop the Lean Pass course and resulted with Ray and Simon becoming the first internal sector organisational trainers to be approved.

Anyone who would like to complete Lean Pass training can do so by contacting Lean@joneseng.com
