Lean Construction Summit
East
Lansing, Michigan, USA (16-22 July 2007)
Lean Construction: A New Paradigm For Managing Capital
Projects
Welcome to the site of the 2007
Lean Construction Summit, to be held from 16-22 July 2007 in East Lansing, Michigan, USA. The summit is organized
by members of the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC).
IGLC is an independent and self-managing voluntary
network of construction researchers, practitioners and academics. Our goal is to better meet customer demands
and dramatically improve the performance of the AEC product development and production management process. The International
Group for Lean Construction is developing new principles and methods, specifically tailored to the AEC industry but akin to
notions of "lean production" which have proved so successful in manufacturing.
In this year's summit,
we have three main events designed to raise indusrty awareness of Lean Construction as well as present the latest research
on innovative theories and practices that reduce waste and increase value in the procurement of building and construction
services.
The content of each event is different:
The first day of the Industry Workshop presents the fundamentals of Lean
Construction and its application in practice
The second day of the Industry Workshop presents a TWI session followed
by a Kaizen session
The
3-day IGLC15 conference will present recently completed and on-going basic and applied research findings from leading practitioners
and academics around the world
The 2-day Lean Construction Postgraduate Conference (LCPC) aims at providing
graduate students of Lean Construction a friendly venue to present and discuss their work with fellow students and leading
researchers/practitioners within the field.
We look
forward to meeting you in East Lansing!!
