The Lean Construction Institute, (LCI) was founded in August 1997 and is now a non-profit corporation. LCI does research to develop knowledge regarding project based production management in the design, engineering, and construction of capital facilities.
LCI aims to extend to the construction industry the Lean production revolution started in manufacturing. This approach maximizes value delivered to the customer while minimizing waste.
Corporate Members of LCI support this research, participate in regular research meetings and implementation meetings. Those contributing at the highest level provide the laboratory to test and refine theory through application in practice. In return, they become industry leaders through the early application of this powerful new approach. |
