LEAPCON: A Workshop on Lean Apartment Construction Methodologies and Process Optimization
Join us for LEAPCON, the ultimate workshop focused on Lean Apartment Construction. Experience hands-on simulations involving ceilings, drywall, HVAC, and flooring while navigating real-world design changes and client requests. Engage in meaningful discussions to identify bottlenecks, cycle times, and areas for improvement in the construction process. Participants will work in dedicated teams to enhance productivity and output, working closely with project managers and client representatives. This workshop is perfect for construction professionals eager to implement lean methodologies and design changes effectively.

Discussion between rounds:Difficulties with the system • Management Team: • What did you feel during the game? Were you busy? • Did you manage to implement your plan? Were you in control? • Drywall team: • Were you busy? • HVAC team • Were you busy? • Bottleneck, Cycle time, WIP, Push • What is the meaning of cycle time for apartment construction in real projects? • How would you improve the process?
Discussion after the second round • Management Team: • What did you feel during the game? Were you busy? • Did you manage to implement your plan? Were you in control? • Drywall team: • Were you busy? Was your productivity improved? • HVAC team • Were you busy? Was your productivity improved? • Bottleneck, Cycle time, WIP, Push • What is the meaning of cycle time for apartment construction in real projects? • How would you improve the process?
