Design Lean to Build Lean: Next Level Value Engineering to Improve Product & Profit

“Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it is getting.” This Dr. W. Edwards Deming quote perfectly describes today’s dilemma in home design. 250 lean building implementations with 200+ builders and 35,000 improvement ideas submitted by 6000 suppliers/trades all point to a similar conclusion – flaws, waste and cost inefficiencies are often rooted in the design process itself. The good news: this is well upstream from construction which

which makes these issues preventable! This session explores why these design flaws occur and offers solutions for producing plans that are both cool and cost-effective. Through compelling before-and-after visuals, we'll highlight visual and structural improvements that reduce cycle time, labor and materials, ultimately resulting in better homes, higher margins and happier customers.
