Keyan Zandy, Chief Operating Officer, and Joe Donarumo, Senior Superintendent, authors of The Lean Builder joined guest host, Jesus (Jesse) D Hernandez Jr, The Learnings and Missteps Podcast, and Felipe Engineer-Manriquez to build out a dialogue about why they wrote the book, why the industry needs more collaboration, and what we can all do to make construction easier and better today.    The Lean Builder is a story and playbook for builders by builders. It features a fictional tale about a newer general contractor superintendent tasked with running the most complicated project of his career. The story includes the all too common challenges in modern construction — lack of communication, coordination, and waste. The story comes to life with dialogue among the characters including a mentor that shares Lean Construction experiences, tools, and processes to help. The book's second part includes a playbook for Daily Huddles, Visual Communication, The “Eight Wastes,” Managing Constraints, Pull Planning, The Last Planner System™ and Percent Plan Complete.   Books Noted: The Toyota Way: 14 Management Principles from the World's Greatest Manufacturer  By Jeffrey Liker   The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement  By Eliyahu M.

Proudly brought to you in association with S A Partners, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.Introduction  Welcome to Episode 37 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is wonderful to have on the show with us today, Felipe Engineer Manriquez. Felipe is an International speaker and practitioner in Lean and Agile. He is committed to sharing decades of construction industry excellence experience as the host of "The EBFC Show" Podcast. He also helps as a member of the Lean Construction Institute (LCI). Felipe is passionate about helping the construction industry, amongst others, to improve and create a better future. Let's get into the episode.  SummarySo, what are Felipe's secret elements to lift construction to a greater level?Take your temperature. Felipe highly recommends "The Machine that Changed the World" by Jim Womack. You need to step back and look at what you have. Don't benchmark. Don't compare yourself to other people. If your work looks complex, you might want to adopt Lean or Agile.Don't add more people or resources. When a project is late, adding more people can delay further. This has been proven in industries like IT and construction and can add more chaos and pressure. Don't throw more money at the project.Plan a little more. Try a daily short (15min) stand-up meeting (Scrum, Huddle) of people who need to deliver actions. What did you accomplish? What are you working on? What help do you need, if any? Don't problem solve in this short stand-up. Instead, identify actions that you could improve on in the future. This daily stand-up improves communication, which enhances flow and performance. People start to help each other.Experiment and learn systematically. LinksLinkedIn: engineerfelipePocast: theebfcshow.comThank you, Felipe, for coming on our show. You are sharing knowledge to improve construction, a massive, global industry.Quotes07:25min When something is at least 25% efficient, it's considered lean and successful. And you're thinking, like, 25% is terrible. You know, that's like on a Leningrad scale, that's a FFF----. You don't even show up or write your name on the test, probably to get a 25%.16:56min You've taken your temperature, and you realise that you're not happy. You're frustrated with how things are going. Let's make a change. Let's do what I learned from Jim Womack and people at the Lean Enterprise Institute. Let's do an experiment. Let's try something different. If you just keep doing the same things that you've done. If you're on a one year job or a ten-year job, it doesn't matter. If you maintain the same inputs and outputs and processes, you're going to be in the same state of chaos all the way until the end. So, you've got to what's called the safe to fail experiment. 25:26min Companies that had this enterprise-wide agility had significantly higher percentages of profitability, employee retention during this tough time. Like here in the United States, we had record-breaking unemployment numbers, where we saw unemployment that was worse than the crash in the 1920s.Key Take-Aways  There were two key takeaways for me from this episode: 1. Take your temperature2. Experiment safely See our blog for a more detailed summary. Look up enterpriseexcellencepodcast.com   

The success of a construction project depends on owners, designers, GCs, and trade partners working together as a team.
