Program details:

Lean Construction is driven to minimize costs and maximize value on each project completed, challenging all stakeholders to develop and apply better ways to manage the overall construction process.

The updated AGC Lean Construction Education Program, 2nd Edition engages students with numerous activities and group discussions designed to apply Lean Construction principles and practices.  Key course activities include the Parade of Trades exercise where participants will learn the effects of varying and unreliable workflow versus smooth and reliable workflow.  Students will also learn and practice the Last Planner System in a simulation that teaches students to engage in a way that produces predictable workflow and rapid learning.

After participants complete all five units in the program, they become eligible to sit for an exam to earn the Certificate of Management - Lean Construction (CM-Lean).

Unit 1 - Introduction to Lean Construction
Unit 2 - Process and Production Basics
Unit 3 - Project Production Systems
Unit 4 - Lean Thinking in Field Production, Last Planner System
Unit 5 - Lean Thinking Outside of Field Production

Once you have completed all units, you are eligible to sit for the Lean Certification exam.
