During this 3-hour workshop you’ll understand and master tools of the circular design approach, applied to the construction industry.

This workshop is designed to be team-focus and dynamic and will be organized as following :

1.  Introduction : 

• System thinking, threats and opportunities for the construction in the 21st century

• Circular design method in perspective with lean

2. "THE FUTURE": 

• A foresight workshop in teams: projecting the building of the future together

3. "THE PRESENT": 

• Design workshop with Circular Canvas to experiment the transition from linear models to circular one, with examples and inspirations

4. "THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE »:

• Your main takeaway and first actions

DPR developed an internal Lean Leadership training program to improve awareness of the value of Lean / IPD project delivery and build ambition amongst their employees to inspire project team members to pursue continuous improvement while prioritizing respect for the people. This program has built teams that maximize value for customers and stakeholders by identifying value and eliminating process waste throughout project delivery

During this workshop, you will experience one module of this Lean leadership training program.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand how to implement the Lean/IPD mindset

2. Understand how to teach people to think differently

3. Recognize why it is important to start with mindset

4. Understand how to sustain a high-performing culture

5. Recognize how learning organizations thrive

1. Objective: 

The objective of this workshop is to explore how Lean methods and Lean Philosophy can be applied in the construction sector to improve process efficiency while reducing environmental impact.

2. Content: 

The workshop is organized through presentations and group discussions to enable participants to understand the key impact drivers of the lean philosophy on the envrionemental challenges and apply them in the construction sector. 

• Presentation of the impacts of applying main lean methods on reducing the CO2 emissions and on the material depletion.  

• Examples of success stories in the application of Lean and circular economy can be presented to inspire participants and give them ideas for applying these methods in their own construction project

3. Expected results:

Participants should be able to understand how to apply Lean methods and the circular economy to optimize construction processes and reduce environmental impact. They should also be able to identify opportunities for improvement in their own construction projects and implement continuous improvement processes to achieve their goals.

If you are new to takt or experienced, join this workshop to help all of us learn together. Takt and visual planning is the future of construction planning! We will use simulations and some fun games to see how well you can think about sequence and flow. We look forward to meeting you all and hope to see you at IGLC-31.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the basics of Takt planning

2. Understand how to develop a sequencing and scheduling strategy from an RFP

3. Understand how to represent all the parts of planning on a single sheet of paper

4. Recognize the importance of communicating consistently

Choosing By Advantages (CBA) is a powerful system to make collaborative decisions for design and construction that aligns with lean thinking.

Project teams have to make many decisions; waiting for the owner or architect to make them in isolation is not a wise strategy. Teams that systematically use CBA in a collaborative fashion significantly decrease negative design iterations, save time and money for the owner, and reduce team frustration. CBA helps teams align on what is relevant, understand why decisions were made on a project, and find innovative design and construction solutions.

This workshop will provide the basis for CBA. Through exercises, we will discuss best practices to manage the decision-making process.

Learning objectives:

1. Understand the importance of decision-making methods.

2. Learn the basics of CBA.

3. Understand the difference between CBA and other decision-making methods.

4. Create a transparent rationale for group decisions.

Objective

The objective of this workshop is to explore together how lean terminology from Japan are being perceived in our everyday life beyond the factory’s production lines; and how the various perceptions can be related to our everyday design and construction work.

Programme Rundown

1. Introduction of lean and lean terminology from Japan;

2. Interactive games (e.g., using Slido) to explore perceptions of lean terminology in our everyday life;

3. Reflection discussion with examples from the current construction industry

4. Debriefing

Takeaways

A list of preliminary findings on stakeholders‘ perceptions towards the lean concepts and terminologies as well as how those relate to implementation of lean workflows in everyday design and construction work.

Delta Partners is an engineering firm specializing in Lean construction. On this project, we are the project manager and pilot for the entire Athletes' Village river eco-neighborhood, a real estate complex comprising 24 buildings with a surface area of over 50,000m² under new construction. 

It includes 2 office buildings, a 150-room hotel, a 140-room university residence, an aquatic center, 1 arts complex and 14 residential buildings (350 units). The construction program is highly ambitious, as all the buildings are designed to achieve very high energy and consumption labels (NF HQE, E3C1, Bream). 

To achieve these objectives, 50% of the buildings have been designed with structural or facade elements in wood (3D modules, FOB, MOB, and FOB-MOB mix), numerous constructive innovations have been patented (notably for wood-concrete connectors), and many technical opinions are subject to ATEX (technical assessment of experimentation). 

To cope with these constructive innovations, Delta Partners has had to adapt its organizational methodologies for the design study, site preparation and installation phases (assembly of elements designed off-site). 

As many of these elements are industrial components, on-site assembly on this scale is an experiment, requiring long hours of organizational engineering (site phasing, dynamic PIC, site logistics). 

It is also worth noting that this project is probably the first on this scale, and with work devolved to separate trades, to be designed and managed using all the tools and methods of Lean construction, namely collaborative planning workshops, agile LPS® facilitation sessions and geotemporal planning.

Last but not least, it should be noted that this district is located on an island (Saint Denis), and given its location, the project required the creation of logistical flow modeling tools correlated with planning and construction progress, as these represent all production bottlenecks. The modeling tools are currently being patented.

Bus transport provided. Limited to 20 people.
