VALUE STREAM MAPPING with GUY PARSONS
The program will be an introduction to Value Stream Mapping, a Lean tool used in all types of organizations across many industries. Guy Parsons is a principal at Value Stream Solutions, and will explain how Value Stream Mapping is useful in showing the steps and flow required to complete a process. This methodology reveals waste and helps improve performance and end results; and can be put to practical use in managing all stages of the planning, design, construction, and commissioning process.
Guy is the former program director of the Lean Enterprise Institute where he worked for 6 years refining lean implementation concepts. He has been a guest lecturer at Babson College and Harvard Business School, and currently aids companies implenting lean in their organizations.

LCI New England CoP
The Lean Construction Institute (LCI), a non-profit research organization, was founded in August 1997. LCI's purpose is to develop and disseminate new knowledge regarding the management of work in design, engineering and construction for capital facilities. LCI has developed the Lean Project Delivery System© (LPDS), and the Last Planner® System of production control. Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery - a new way to design and build capital facilities. Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly. Applied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done throughout the delivery process. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system - maximize value and minimize waste - to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process extending from project definition through design, supply and assembly.
The New England Community of Practice of LCI provides local lean support to owners, architects and designers, engineers, contractors, specialty contractors, and suppliers. We invite owners and project delivery team members to meet together as a local user group to learn, share, and develop a lean community in New England. As a regional forum for conversations among practitioners, the CoP will help create a new common sense for the AEC industry as LCI continues to build knowledge in design and construction.
