We have had some intense days full of events about concepts, current situation and practical examples of the Lean Construction methodology and collaborative contracting. More specifically, the webinar on IPD offered at the KÖMMERLING Challenge School and an online round table organized by the General Council of Technical Architects of Spain (GCATE). Index [ Show ] Application of Lean Construction in the Latin world The round table organized by the CGATE on “the state of maturity of Lean and IPD in Spain and with respect to other countries” managed to take us out of our comfort zone for a couple of hours. Moderated by the expert Juan Felipe Pons , it included the interventions of Javier Bermejo, General Director of KÖMMERLING in Spain and promoter of the Zero Building, Pedro Júdez, Lean expert and consultant in Spain, and Rómulo Bertoya, Argentine promoter. webinar CGATE One of the moments of the round table “the state of maturity of Lean and IPD in Spain and with respect to other countries”, organized by the CGATE Lean Construction News The three participants told us about the state of implementation of Lean processes in the Spanish and Latin American world.
We must highlight the work that has been done for a decade in Peru, as a pioneer country. This leadership was supported by Chile, Brazil and Mexico. In parallel, Spain has also had its own Lean initiative since 2011. Currently, Lean training is being highly demanded by construction companies . They find the Last Planner tool a great ally when it comes to speeding up times and considerably reducing “waste”, the betes noires of any work. But it is necessary for another figure, such as the promoter, to have knowledge and leadership in the application of this powerful method on his property or plot, which will Industry Email List ensure: Cost reduction Transparency in the process Time savings The current application of Lean Construction normally goes hand in hand with the design and management of “Building Information Modeling” (BIM) projects and the collaborative contracting system “Integrated Project Delivery” (IPD) . Working with Lean tools is easy to do, but it does involve a change in mentality and attitude when facing projects on the part of all the agents involved, including subcontracting companies It will initially involve a certain “loss” of time to align interests and objectives between everyone, but the effectiveness in the subsequent design and execution is amazing .
We also reserve a few lines to comment on the status or possibilities of collaborative contracts in public procurement . Although it is true that the law that regulates these contracts applies traditional methods and currently there is no initiative by the administrations in this regard, we must take into account the “dissatisfaction” factor and recognition of inefficiency that sooner or later will become present, admitting the evidence that there are better processes. To do this, the industry must be exemplary, so that the greatest number of new Lean Construction buildings “guide” the path to administration. Lean Construction Projects in Spain Lean is eminently practical. Therefore, success stories cannot be missing from this entry. Although the Lean Construction examples that we show you below are of a certain magnitude, the Lean methodology is applicable to any project , regardless of its size. What's more, the three speakers advised starting with “achievable” projects to gradually evolve in practice. This way you minimize the expenses and risks that any change of attitude always entails. So, taking these projects as a reference, we encourage you to gradually apply Lean in your profession.
