20 OVERALL PERFORMANCE TO DATE Lean Construction The Ardmac Story January 2018

21 LAST PLANNER SUCCESSES WITH LAST PLANNER (Project 1) V WITHOUT LAST PLANNER (Project 2) SAFETY Zero first aids or near misses on the Project 1 DEFECTS PER 50K Reduced from 9 defects at client walkdown on Project 2 to 3.4 on Project 1 LABOUR RATIO ACTUAL:BUDGET Reduced labour to budget ratio (circa 10% reduction) on Project 1 MARGIN ACTUAL:BUDGET UNPLANNED STOPPAGES PER 50K TEAM ETHOS Greater Margin on Project 1 Unplanned stoppages on Project 1 were less than 2 per 50K works complete Subjectively more Positive on Project 1 with less Frustration Lean Construction The Ardmac Story October 2018

22 6S METHOD SORT Eliminate Unnecessary items from the workplace Remove: Obsolete/ expired procedures Damaged/ expired inventory Defunct/ old equipment SET IN ORDER Arrange items so that they are easy to use, find and put away Utilize: Colour Coding Separate bins Visual Management SHINE Keep the items and work area neat and clean. Clean: Dirty tools and equipment Spills and leaks Clutter and Mess STANDARDISE Create a consistent approach to tasks and procedures Create: Work instructions Hazard warnings Equipment / tool labels Process Diagrams SUSTAIN Make a habit of maintaining the correct procedures Continue to: Emphasis on cooperation Communicate clearly Support innovation SAFETY Eliminate Unnecessary items from the workplace Ensure to: Identify and eliminate hazards immediately Communicate Safety Ethos Achieve Safety Together Lean Construction The Ardmac Story October 2018

23 6S CASE STUDY 13,000 m² Cleanroom Ceiling Increased installation rate from 165m² per day to 300m² per day. Reduced number of forklifts in use from 1 to 2. Labour saving of 120,000 Plant saving of 3,500 Schedule saving of 5 weeks. Traditional V 6S Methods 2 of the same site activities observed using Direct Observation. One used 6S methods and the other did not. 14% increase in Value Add - 29% up to 43% 7% reduction in Necessary Non Value Add 28% down to 31% 7% reduction in Waste. Down to 26% Lean Construction The Ardmac Story October 2018

24 Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

25 DRIVERS FOR IPD Increased client value. Early specialist knowledge at project design stage. Focus on overall improvement integrating processes, tools and people in one system. Better working relationships Creates contractor buy in to target value delivery through incentivisation. Improvement across all key measurable metrics (Safety, Quality, Cost, Schedule). Reduces waste Lean Construction The Ardmac Story October 2018

26 OUTPUT OF IPD Team of project constituencies being open and collaborative. Process is concurrent, project life cycle orientated, collaborative with shared information. Collectively shared and managed risk. Performance and value base compensation. Technology is object orientated, data is centralised and a shared model is in place Lean Construction The Ardmac Story October 2018

27 BENEFITS FOR IPD Reduced variation and claims. Elimination of waste and duplication Transparency and trust Integrated team ethos leave project delivery easier. Contractor incentive when target achieved. Improvements in Key measurable metrics (Safety, Quality, Cost, Schedule). Long term relationships gained Lean Construction The Ardmac Story October 2018

28 BARRIERS/RESISTANCE The barriers we have encountered when attempting to reduce waste include: Current contracts don t support lean practices. The culture in (parts of) the Construction Industry. The classic list of seven wastes in not fully relevant for construction. Projects are quick, complex and uncertain so waste reduction is complex. The low degree of stability and repetitiveness prevents flow Short term relationships and fragmented supply chain The role of the Construction Manager too busy to step back and review the project The Most Dangerous Kind of Waste is the Waste we Don t Recognize Shiego Shingo Lean Construction The Ardmac Story October 2018
