Abstract:

Due to the often “part-time” commitment of team members on smaller projects, it can be more difficult to have all team members adopt Lean Behavior. This is a case study of a two phase chiller and electrical system replacement project at Mills Peninsula Health Services that not only implemented lean construction processes and techniques on a small project, but also applied those to behavior evolution.

With the two phases split by several months, the project team was able to take that opportunity to develop and implement a lean improvement plan for the second phase with lessons learned from the first phase. With an emphasis on changes made and results, the case study will demonstrate Lean Project Tools and Behaviors describing improvements, innovation, results and lessons learned that can be applied to your next project – large or small.
