The purpose of this program is to develop the participant’s level of awareness and understanding of Lean and Lean Construction practices and prepare them to take the CM-Lean credential exam. The focus will be to reach understanding for construction phase practices and awareness for the other phases of project delivery.

Participants will develop a foundation in Lean principles to start learning by doing Lean Construction practices relevant to the construction phase of a project. Some of these practices include: the Last Planner System® , the PDCA cycle, problem solving, waste removal, 5S, facilitation, planning for flow efficiency, and engaging people.

AGC’s Lean Construction Education Program (LCEP) course is comprised of five units that function as the building blocks of a wholistic approach to educating aspiring Lean Construction practitioners. This program provides 36-hours of instruction and training to provide construction industry professionals at all levels with the knowledge and skills to take advantage of the benefits of Lean Construction.
