Lean Construction and On Site Productivity Improvement

Construction sites lose a large share of every working day to waiting, rework and poor coordination that never appears on a drawing. Lean construction gives teams a practical way to see and remove that waste and make work flow reliably. This course introduces lean thinking, the Last Planner approach and simple site tools that lift productivity on African projects where margins are thin.
