Improve facilities repair, renovation, maintenance, and new build outcomes and reduce costs
Key Components of LEAN Job Order Contracting:
- A Practical, not a theoretical Solution
- Single Project/Work Order Amount – Guaranteed, Full Transparent Costs
- Shared Risk/Reward – Overall Outcome Performance Focus
- Financial and Technical Alignment of Design, Procurement, and Construction / Project Delivery
- Removal of Traditional Silos
- Team-based – The right people are developed and maintained for the right projects
- Mandatory third-party, independent audits of every contractor proposal
- Environment supportive of developing greater skill and success in project execution.
- Better leverage of sophistication and decision-making of trade contractors in the local market
- Implementation of Lean Concepts, Practices and Tools
- Intentional Creation of a Collaborative Culture
- Mandatory Initial and Ongoing Training for ALL Participants/Stakeholders
- Owner personnel management team, senior management team engagement and implementation leadership (Owner is always aware of project status and progress and knows they will be receiving, BEFORE project completion)
- Projects are collaboratively developed
- Program Centric versus Project Centric (A Program is a portfolio of projects, each of which follows fundamental guidelines) – Program First!
