About the Lean Construction Institute and Lean Project Management
Lean Construction Institute (LCI) is a non-profit organization founded in 1997. The Institute operates as a catalyst to transform the industry through Lean, using an operating system centered on a common language, fundamental principles and basic practices. The Lean operating system provides the foundation for a different, more collaborative and more effective form of project management. Use of Lean techniques produces a transformational way of designing and building capital facilities and generating major improvements in owner satisfaction while dramatically improving schedule and waste reduction, particularly on complex, uncertain and quick projects.
With over 200 corporate members, representing the owner, designer, general contractor and trade partner communities, LCI is a voice for industry as it relates to project work. LCI sponsors programs in education, networking and research to assist members on all stages of their Lean journey.
LCI Vision:
Transformational improvement in: the delivery of value to stakeholders, and the quality of the work environment for all participants, achieved by re-integrating a siloed industry through Lean.
Strategy:
LCI seeks to increase owner and construction supply chain satisfaction with design and construction delivery by creating demand for transformation in the owner community and developing the capacity in the supply chain necessary to meet this demand.
