Lean Project Delivery at a Public University
How are universities able to utilize Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Lean principals for their capital projects regardless of size or budget? What are the advantages and challenges to implementing Lean and IPD in a university setting? In this webinar, we will take an in-depth look at the Michigan State University Shaw Hall dining hall renovation project, which was executed under a Lean Integrated Project Delivery (Lean/IPD) contract. The first known publicly owned project to be executed in this manner in the United States, the Owner, Designer, Contractor, and Specialty Contractors signed multi-party agreements. Their experiences throughout the validation and design process are discussed.
The discussion topics will include:
1. Why Lean/IPD at the university?2. The MSU Shaw Hall Project3. The Deal – contract specifics for lean construction4. Lean Design Methods: Set-Based Design and Target Value Design5. The benefits and lessons learned during the validation and design process
This webinar will provide you with a better understanding of the unique features and characteristics of a Lean/IPD project, the behaviors that members of a facilities group need for Lean/IPD projects, the requirements of a relational contract approach, and much more!

Dr. Tariq Abdelhamid
Dr. Abdelhamid is Chief Lean Enterprise Officer with the Student Life and Engagement (SLE) Division at Michigan State University (MSU), working with colleagues since 2013 on a lean transformation journey that is characterized by theory informed practice, and driven by Data Science and Business Analytics. Early efforts included development of a selection and prioritization system for projects competing for limited annual plant renewal budgets. The system involved Choosing By Advantages. The focus shifted to operations given they represented 90% of the division’s annual budget. Process improvement was formalized through a framework called Integrated Practice Organization. The total different process improvement efforts until COVID reached 35 teams. During COVID, the hoshin kanri process was adapted to allow for cascading strategic intent aims conceived to navigate the pandemic in an effective and efficient manner.

Bio:
Dr. Lauri Koskela is Professor of Construction and Project Management at the University of Huddersfield. Previously he worked at the University of Salford as Professor of Lean, Theory Based Project and Production Management. Prior that he was involved in applied research at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. Since 1991, Lauri has been involved in research on Lean Construction. His research has focused especially on the theories of production management as well as design management, underlying Lean Construction. Lauri is a founding and continuously active member of the International Group for Lean Construction. He has been Director, Trustee and Company Secretary at Lean Construction Institute – UK.

Abstract:
For thirty years, the presenter has been involved in theoretical work aiming to explain and develop Lean practices in construction. This presentation offers an overview of this work and how it has advanced, and can advance, practice. The focus is especially on theories of production (transformation, flow and value generation), approaches to knowledge acquisition, and understanding of change. How these topics are related to waste and its elimination is discussed.

It is well known that Lean Construction has mainly evolved through practitioner contributions and diffused in peer-to-peer interaction as well as through consultant efforts. The argument here is that these practical efforts can be effectively supported by a theoretical foundation.

Learning objectives:
• To identify the main foundational theoretical approaches in Lean Construction
• To understand the practical consequences of Lean Construction theories
• To understand the multi-faceted concept of waste

Since its launch in 2004, Project Qatar has played a vital role in fostering business partnerships and facilitating knowledge sharing among industry experts. The event has consistently attracted a wide range of exhibitors from various sectors, including building materials, construction equipment, MEP services,
and architectural design. It has also served as a platform for government bodies to showcase their infrastructure development plans and initiatives, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to learn about the latest industry trends, regulations, and policies.
The 20th anniversary of the Project Qatar Exhibition marks a significant milestone for the event, which has become one of the most prominent exhibitions for construction and building materials in the Gulf region. Over the past two decades, Project Qatar has established itself as a platform for international and local companies to showcase their latest products, technologies, and services to a diverse audience of industry professionals, investors, and decision-makers. As the event celebrates its 20th year, it is an excellent opportunity to reflect on its achievements and contributions to the growth and development of the construction industry in Qatar and beyond.

Lean Construction Institute – Qatar is announced as one of the exhibitors for the 20th Edition of Project Qatar. Happening this May 27-30, 2024 at Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC).
