The EBFC Show Changing How to Build with Hal Macomber Part 2
Hal Macomber says, “Lean is NOT a cost-cutting approach. Lean is a people development approach.” The current state of construction is changing. More and more people are changing how we build. In this continued interview, Hal shares what actions you can take to build higher team performance while building new capabilities including his standard approach for improving project delivery. When we focus on people and improving construction flow, we will be engaged in better strategies to minimize the impact of variation and complexity.
"Use Flow as your improvement metric. Engage the people doing the work, that is how to make positive changes, and continue learning." Focus on flow, use Takt Planning, and heed the production laws. The Four Production Laws include:
- The Law of Variation
- The Theory of Constraints (bottlenecks)
- Little’s Law (batch size and durations)
- Kingman’s Forumla (capacity utilization and variation)
