TRANSFORM YOUR PROJECTS INTO A LEAN OPERATING SYSTEM!

Everyone related to the construction process has an incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost – from the project owners who want to see results for their investment to the contractors and designers who want to do their job well and move on to the next project.

Lean Construction is based on the holistic pursuit of continuous improvements aimed at minimizing costs and maximizing value on a construction project: planning, design, construction, activation, operations, maintenance, salvaging, and recycling.

To help contractors develop the knowledge needed to build Lean, the Associated General Contractors of America developed the Lean Construction Education Program (LCEP). Construction professionals at all experience levels will learn the building blocks necessary to transform their projects and companies into a Lean Operating System.

PLEASE NOTE:

This online course is designed to provide training on the concepts of Lean Construction through seven online training units. It does not include testing for the AGC Certificate of Management-Lean Construction (CM-Lean).

Students who complete all seven units are invited to take the test at their own leisure.

If you have completed all seven units and would like to inquire further about the AGC Certificate of Management-Lean Construction (CM-Lean) please CLICK HERE.
