Lean
Linbeck’s Lean Operating System (Lean) is an enterprise-wide, integrated operating system based on eliminating waste on the jobsite, streamlining processes, and constantly finding ways to improve our construction operations. As a founding member of the Lean Construction Institute, we are passionate about implementing Lean principles so we can boost productivity, promote jobsite safety, improve schedule reliability, and build cost-effectively.
The core elements of Linbeck’s Lean Operating System include proactive problem solving, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Each of these is advanced through our implementation of the following tools and technologies:
- Target Costing
- Five S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain)
- Value Streams
- Work Structuring
- A3 Planning Template
- Set-Based Design
- Real-Time Metrics
- Visual Systems through use of Lean Boards
- Last Planner System
- WOW Videos to eliminate waste
