Lean agile construction

Increasing the productivity of delivering capital and infrastructure projects is critical for capital-intensive sectors. Our team of experts supports from the formulation of engineering and macro planning to the lean management of performance and delivery of capital projects. With our knowledge of data management and digitization, we activate solutions on digital platforms that optimize resources, reduce costs and increase the performance of decision making, incorporating lean and agile principles from end to end.

We combine the application of lean construction methodologies and tools such as Kanban, Gemba Walks, A3, Last Plannner System, Hoshin and take time, among others, in order to ensure adherence to the deadlines, costs and scopes of capital projects, with the use of agile methodologies such as scrum, safe and production to boost the creation of value throughout the investment life cycle and the gain of scale in organizations.

Our team has experience in implementing Lean Agile Construction in more than 40 capital and infrastructure projects, helping to achieve results such as:

• +90% production / engineering adherence to project planning
• +20% to 40% increase in productivity
• -15% time reduction
  

To capitalize on this shift to Industry 4.0, with the creation and effective monetization of IoT solutions, companies must incorporate new technologies and digital resources into their legacy assets. As with the most fundamental changes, this is also easier to carry out in theory than in practice. Representing a digital industrial operation involves transformations in all aspects of business. To create value throughout the client's life cycle, it is necessary to reorient the business model from linear to always active.

This requires a major change of mindset as well as of processes. The challenge becomes even more complex when companies try to balance their legacy businesses with emerging offerings and newer business models. Whether reformulating internal operations or transforming their businesses to operate in the IoT market, the transformations promoted must be based on five main questions:

• What is your strategic objective?
• What will be the area and manner of action?
• What capabilities are needed to achieve this goal? Do they already exist in the organization?
• What capabilities should be configured? Who are the decision makers?
• What business processes, technologies and management systems are needed to win?
