To develop the tools needed to build lean, the AGC has developed the Lean Construction Education Program. Construction professionals at all experience levels will learn the building blocks necessary to transform their projects and companies into a lean operating system. AGC’s Lean Construction Education Program is a series of courses that progressively cover a range of topics essential to Lean Construction, including:
- Variation and pull in production
- Lean workstructuring, supply chains, and assembly
- Production management
- Management by values
- Problem-solving principles and tools
- Compare batch-and-queue and continuous-flow production systems
- Distinguish push systems from pull systems
- Describe the impact of pull on production systems
- Explain pull strategies in construction operations
