Lean Project Consulting (LPC) provides management consulting services to the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) industries along with other project-based firms. The company focuses on helping firms move from traditional project delivery approaches to current best practices based on lean thinking, collaborative processes and language-action based practices for coordinating action.
LPC works in two principal ways. We help clients with “consequential” projects and we help firms learn to deliver all their projects on a lean basis.
In the first case, contractors, designers and owners approach us for help with what is for them a project that has high stakes. We design an engagement that is specific to the project circumstances and client goals. In the second case, any one of the three major project participants — owners, designers and contractors — engage us to embark on an organization-wide transformation of their project delivery approach. These engagements usually last for over 12 months.
When LPC started out, we spent most of our time helping companies implement the Last Planner® System in construction settings. In 2004, we began working with design firms to adopt lean thinking in their practices. In the last four years we’ve seen a large swing to supporting lean Integrated Project Delivery™. Call us to discuss how we can help you with your projects.
