Resource Highlight: MCAA’s Why Contractors Should Do LEAN

Each contractor approaches its work differently, but there is one thing we all have in common – the desire to gain a competitive advantage. MCAA’s Why Contractors Should Do LEAN explains how LEAN construction can help contractors deliver better projects faster and at less cost by improving productivity and eliminating wasted resources. It’s just one of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.

The bulletin explores:

• What LEAN is
• LEAN terminology
• The types of waste that LEAN usually addresses
• How LEAN can benefit mechanical contractors
• 5S’s applications in LEAN, including examples and their results
• The Last Planner System® of project management
