The Lean Journey

Leamore are fully engaged in the lean journey and have been continually implementing Lean Systems within our organisation. Our staff entered into lean training with all our management team completing yellow belt in the lean management and are currently progressing to green beet and black belt. The lean thinking has transformed how we do our business and upon brain storming sessions with our senior management team we identified numerous areas that benefit the productivity and day to day running of the business.

Leamore has implemented a reduce recycle reuse policy throughout all our sites. As a lean initiative double checking quantities before order, recycle of waste products for alternative uses throughout the project or on other projects from the concept our ideas boards has led to great results in minimising waste and improving efficiency.

Leamore Lean Initiative

Lean and the Site Layout.

Our Management team recognised that our temporary site layout could be improved by applying the Kaizen philosophy of operational excellence, striving to find possible areas of improvement to further enhance our principles. Site Offices, Site Facilities, storage facilities and Laydown areas are planned out strategically collaborating with all our resources to continuously improve efficiency and minimise movement of management subcontractors and employees. This is the heart of operations and greater communication between the team members and a decrease in downtime through movement have greatly increased productivity within our sites,

Last Planner System

At Leamore our Master planning system is focused on identifying major milestones that help gauge the pace at which the project will progress if it is to be successful. This enables completion dates for each of the major project key dates and for future planning the purchase of major long lead in building items. Our Last Planner system allows us to actively pursue constraints whilst allowing us to manage our activities in 6 weeks phases in advance of items becoming an issue. It also enables real-time tracking of the teams PPC (Planned Percent Complete) which highlights the opportunities to stretch your goals within the schedule.
