As I noted in my November President’s Corner arti-cle, one of the challenges all construction related busi-nesses face in the future is Certification, Training and Continuing Education.
Recently I read a very good article I received from the Foundation of Wall and Ceilings Industry (FWDI) ti-tled “Lean Construction Practices for Contractor: Cur-rent thought and Methodologies” – July 2015. It focuses on “Lean Construction Practices for Contractors”. A few important innovations revolutionizing the construc-tion industry today are: Lean Six Sigma, Integrated Project Delivery, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Proactive Training and Development of Field Leaders, Global Posi-tioning Systems (GPS) as well as other innovations and processes. One of the take-aways was “Adopting Lean practices can go a long way to extinction-proofing a
President’s Corner John Larkin, CDT, USGBC
company’s products and services because it requires a philosophy of continuous improvement and constantly evolving process that looks for and removes waste”. You get a copy of this paper by going to the FWDI web site www.awci.org. I would suggest taking time to get a copy of this, read it, and share with others.
Again, the Certification programs CSI offers are, I feel, some of the foundation stones for
success for those in the construction industry, today and tomorrow. We can provide “Building Knowledge” that “Improves Project Delivery.”
As a reminder our spring 2016 CDT and CCPR Prep Courses will begin 2/1/2016, Mondays
from 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM for 8 Weeks. To sign up and get more information, contact Matt Walsh (matt@sanoandassociates.com or 913-481-4200).
In closing I would like to extend a Holiday Wish to you all and your families
from me and my family. Believe in the spirit of the Holiday. May the happy mo-ments of the season brighten every day of the New Year.
As always, thank your all for your support, contributions and faith in who we are, what we
do and where we are going .
