It was with great pleasure that Lean Construction Ireland announced the launch of its 5th annual publication – Lean Construction Ireland Book of Cases 2022.
Examples
The latest edition of the annual ‘Book of Cases’ provides examples from across the Irish construction sector where organisations and companies, both public and private, have delivered real tangible value and benefits by adopting Lean thinking and practices as part of the project delivery process.
The key themes which have emerged from this year’s cases include Integrated Project Delivery, Operational Excellence, Digitisation, Modern Methods of Construction and Resource Management.
Describes
Each case describes the project where Lean was adopted, the challenge or opportunity that led to Lean thinking and practice being implemented, and describes how this has resulted in e ciency gains, successful outcomes and value for all stakeholders.
The ‘Book of Cases’ has become a hugely valuable resource and reference for the Construction sector, both nationally and internationally by providing detailed practical examples of Lean being implemented within the sector.
The cases demonstrate best practices in Lean adoption and are a reference and inspiration to individuals seeking to develop their knowledge and understanding of Lean.
