12 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


Lean principles: the flow principle

By „value stream“ we understand all activities (both, value-adding and non-


value adding) which are necessary to produce a product or deliver a service
▪ The production flow from raw materials to delivery
▪ The development from product concept to start of production

13 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


Lean principles: customer takt time

The customer rhythm is the average time in which a finished unit exits a value
system
▪ The takt time is the rhythm of customer demand.
▪ The takt time indicates how much time a particular activity should take in order to meet
customer demand in time.

Customer needs Production


Equalisation

Takt! Takt! Takt!

Fluctuations Production on Takt

Customer call-offs Customer takt cycle time

14 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


Lean principles: pull system

„produce only what is needed, only when it is needed and only in the amount
needed“ Toyota
▪ Modern productions are designed as a pulling system. Based on the customer's order
the production process is scheduled and controlled
▪ This ensures that only what the customer really wants is produced in the required
quantity
▪ Usually the system controls itself, there is no additional coordination effort required

15 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


Lean principles: zero defects

A quality check is carried out on each process. There are no faulty or


unfinished units transferred to the next process
▪ Accept no error
▪ Make no mistakes
▪ Pass down no fault
▪ Direct feedback and troubleshooting to find root of problem
▪ Introduction of standards and error prevention (Poka-Yoke)
▪ Errors are promptly made transparent and are resolved

16 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


The aim of takt planning is to achieve a constant workload
and performance throughout the entire duration of the project

▪ The aim of the takt planning is a constant workload and performance troughout the entire duration
of the project
▪ This avoids “last minute actions” & “Firefighting” at the end of the project

From the acceleration of production ... towards daily goals or goals at the
At the end of the project ... end of a shift

The transformation begins with the modification to a
process train

▪ From a “chaotic train” with high latency times, stockpiles and inflexible wagons which run with
different speed, overtake or block each other…

▪ … towards to a “process train” which consists of wagons that run at the same speed and thus accident-
free. No buffers are needed!

18 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


The takt time is determined and recorded on the
construction site using the planning board

▪ The workload of a project is optimally balanced. The cycle time of a team (“required time”)
corresponds to the takt time.
▪ Results of different cycle times:

Aim

takt time
(„available time“)

cycle time
(„needed time“)

19 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


At Drees & Sommer we define Lean Construction
Management as follows

„Lean Construction Management (LCM)


is an innovative tool for smooth site
processes free of obstacles. The simple and
clear production system for the site achieves
a stability and acceleration that usually is
not achievable “

28 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


Overall Process Analysis: reverse planning of the
process steps

▪ Visualize each process. Start with the last step and go step-wise back to the beginning.

▪ Mark each step with a colored post-it for the responsible team/trade.

▪ Write each process step on a post-it and pin it into the right order on the wrapping paper.

29 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis
Overall Process Analysis: Identification of problems
and obstacles
▪ Visualize problems and obstacles with red post-its beside the affected process

▪ Number the post-its and write down (on the post-its) a keyword that explains the problem or
obstacle.

▪ Note the problem or the obstacle on the separate action list by using the same numbering.

▪ Examples of problems or obstacles are the following: inaccurate customer specifications, special tools
are required, experiences from previous projects etc.

The Takt Analysis is based on the OPA and is adding the
amount of work and takt time to the defined sequence per zone type

Takt Analysis (TA)


▪ In the takt analysis the predefined
sequence of work is transformed into a
takted standard schedule for a zone
types
▪ These zone types can be clustered into
different sizes if similar zone types in the
building are different.
▪ The trades all takted to the defined takt
time, will run step by step through the
defined areas of the construction site and
will complete their work in each area
within the takt
▪ all trades proceed in a constant flow with
the same speed

Workshop: Work sample study

▪ Each process or process step explained on the overall process analysis post-its is divided
into individual activities.

▪ The duration of each activity is measured with a stopwatch.

▪ These data are the prerequisite for cycle planning, appropriate team organization and
classification of the team-workload.

▪ The work sample study is normally accomplished three times within a Lean workshop.

1. Analysis of the actual state

2. Analysis of the activity times after the introduction of process improvements such as
tools, material supply or distances

3. Confirmation of the process structure after the introduction of a new cycle and new
team organization

Important

▪ The aim of the work sample study is not to control the individual performance of the
laborer.

▪ The measured results are used anonymously to obtain realistic times (cycle times) for
each activity.

▪ The collected data are used for process optimization

▪ Make sure that all laborer in the area are informed about the work sample study, their
purpose and what they are involved in.

Compared to traditional time schedules, process planning
creates more transparency and clarity

LCM

55 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


In process planning, the overall plan of operations is drawn
up on the basis of predefined milestones

▪ Based on the takt planning, the process planning (rolling 4-6 -month preview) is created together with
all relevant participants on site based
▪ Furthermore, upstream processes such as design, pre construction, logistics and prefabrication are
linked to the sequence
▪ Defined "quality gates" and milestones serve to identify the stability of the flow between the design
teams and the construction site.
▪ The aim is to remove all obstacles - before the execution process is affected.

56 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


PP: Identification of problems and obstacles

Visualization of problems and obstacles with pink Post-it next to the affected process.
▪ Give the Post-it a number and write a keyword explaining the problem or obstacle.
▪ Write the problem or obstacles to a separate action list using the same number.

57 September, 26 - 27 , 2017, LCM Simulation, Patrick Theis


PP: Determination of planning stability by using
stability criteria

Develop stability criteria and enter them on the printout of the process planning.
▪ What requirements must be met to ensure that the process starts on time?
▪ e. g. customer approval, material availability, isometric checked and signed.
Examination of the specified stability criteria within each process planning workshop.
Enter the problem in a separate action list if the stability criteria are not completed in time.
▪ The stability criteria are displayed using the traffic light logic.
▪ Stability criteria that have been fulfilled are marked "green".
▪ Stability criteria that have not been met are marked "red".
