Big Projects With Lean Construction — Our Lean Concepts Save You Time and Money
Milestone Consulting & Construction Inc. approaches its projects with a lean mindset and principles. Our construction processes have always been tackled with this approach before it gained prominence. Now, you will understand why we are the leader in consulting and construction!
The use of lean concepts enables us to streamline our construction process. This helps to reduce waste, saves time, and significantly reduces costs for our clients.
One of the primary lean concepts we use is Value Stream Mapping. This process involves mapping out each step in the construction process, from design to completion, and identifying areas where we can reduce waste, save time, and increase efficiency.
Another lean concept we use is Kaizen—continuous improvement. We believe that there is always room for improvement. This is the mindset of all our professionals and workers. We constantly look for ways to refine processes and eliminate waste during construction. Sometimes, this could entail analyzing our workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing changes to improve efficiency.
We also use Just-In-Time (JIT) production techniques to minimize waste and reduce inventory. We only order specific materials and supplies when needed rather than stockpiling them in advance. This is especially true for materials with high inventory costs (e.g., plumbing fixtures and roofing materials) or materials susceptible to weather damage (e.g., electrical fittings). Using JIT techniques, we reduce storage costs and space and minimize the risk of waste due to obsolescence or damage.
