Adventures in Design Planning - Workshop #5

Applying Systems Engineering to the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Industry by Chin-An Cheng, ESEP, Dave Mason, CSEP, and Zig Rubel from Aditazz

Have you ever wanted to know how we can put planes in the air and satellites into orbit with confidence but have challenges putting buildings together on earth? Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary collaborative approach to the engineering of systems aimed to capture stakeholder needs and objectives and to transform these into a description of a holistic, life-cycle balanced system solution satisfying requirements and optimizing overall project stakeholder objectives, values, and expectations.

This session is geared to introduce the concepts of Systems Engineering as defined by the International Council Of System Engineers, INCOSE, and discuss how it can be applied to the design, construction and operations of buildings. The goal of the session is to clearly define the customer requirements process as it relates to project delivery and beyond by improving project performance through collaborative engineering.

The session will be broken into three groupings:

1. Systems Engineering Fundamentals

2. Case Study on applied system engineering in one industry and how this might be applied to the building industry

3. Presentation from one company applying Systems Engineering methodologies in the building design and construction industry

Techniques that will be discussed include systems engineering, design for manufacture and assembly, building information modeling, project management and production control.

Agenda (start at 8:30 AM)

1. Introduction(s) - 15 mins

2. Why Systems Engineering -10 mins

3. Systems Engineering (Concept Level (Who is INCOSE, what is SE)) - 90 mins

P2SL Megaprojects Leadership Initiative

Where: UC Berkeley (main campus)

Workshop setting: We are hosting this two-day workshop to focus on leadership practices and the development of leaders of megaprojects. Megaprojects—sometimes referred to as ‘international’ or ‘global’ projects—could be either private- or public projects, and in any industry sector (e.g., oil and gas, industrial construction, complex buildings, infrastructure).

Leadership is to align and nurture capabilities of the project delivery team with the demands on the project. Leaders should serve as a model for the desired behavior, enable what they are requesting (conditions, knowledge, resources, coaching and training), and maintain the team focus on goals and values (process and criteria).

This workshop wraps up the first year of our Laboratory’s research focused on megaproject leadership. P2SL’s Megaproject Leadership Initiative has been supported by Statoil as the founding member, and we have conducted our research in collaboration with colleagues at the Norwegian Technical University (NTNU).

Workshop aim: The aim of this workshop is to bring together industry practitioners and researchers eager to share their learnings on how to exercise and develop leadership, and interested in collaborating on further research and practical applications of lessons learned in this area.

Discussions at the workshop will pertain to any or all:

1. the commercial terms,

2. the organization, and

3. the operating system

used to deliver projects. Speakers will present case studies and theoretical frameworks on which to base future studies and plan-do-check-act experimental applications.

Topics:

· Lean Construction Leadership

· Organizational Change Management

· Leadership in Joint Ventures

· Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)

· Project Alliancing

· Education and Development of Leaders

· Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

· Models to Characterize and Analyze Megaprojects

LCI-P2SL Lean Design Forum

Join us for 2 days of in-depth dialogue on Lean design and construction philosophy and methodologies. Hear from national leaders in design and construction who have been implementing lean thinking and integrated project delivery methods specifically related to design and the participation of designers throughout the life of a project. Meeting format will include presentations, workshops, and question-and-answer periods.

Presentations:

1. Todd Henderson from Boulder Associates to reprise Romano Nickerson's presentation to the NorCal COP on integrating lean into a design practice.

2. Stacey Root, also from Boulder Associates reprising her presentation in Cincinnati last year on the team approach they took on the Van Ness California Medical Office Building.

3. Kevin Kerschbaum of HGA discussing contemporaneous modeling of post-op and emergency care for Affinity in Wisconsin.

We'll be discussing the role of Lean principles in Design in the workshop on Friday. The purpose is to conduct a robust conversation in the community about design. However, we need to tap into our resources on this subject from around the country so we won't be developing a specific, adoptable document that defines or tries to define the role of lean principles in design. Structural engineers, Mechanical system designers, architects, city planners-all are important to a great diversity of ideas on how the creative process we call design is informed by lean principles.

Lean in Public Sector Construction Projects

Agenda and presentation materials are posted here.

Can Lean work on public projects? Who has what flexibility? What are the challenges in contracting and in bringing Lean to public agency construction?

Speakers will present a white paper and then report out on Lean projects underway in public school construction, experiments at the University of California in San Francisco, Lean on public sector building projects, Lean in highway contracting, and the Lean enterprise set up to manage the California Prison Receivership project. They will also report on projects overseas in the United Kingdom and Germany .

Join us to hear about opportunities available to you and your company, reflect on learnings, and leave with plans to conduct your own Lean experiments.

Join us in the third of our 3-month series on lean organizational and leadership development with Bob DeKoch, President of Boldt Construction, leading a firm that is a very early adopter of lean for projects and for their company’s entire enterprise. Bob will add great depth to our leadership development discussing books like "Embracing Uncertainty" and will also give the group a peak under the tent on our second book, "Progress Makers" which will be published during this next year. All of this relates very closely to the leadership and culture needed to embrace Lean ideals. Watch for more details shortly.
