Vroom Funderingstechnieken is active in the field of applying the LEAN philosophy in collaborative construction team settings. LEAN is based on the core definition: ‘All activities within an organization that directly contribute to what the client pays for are of value; everything else is waste.’ This core definition underpins the way projects and processes are viewed. The task is to focus on the wastes and reduce or eliminate them wherever possible. ‘Where you stumble, there lies your greatest treasure’ is a LEAN saying that pertains to this.
Benefits
Optimizing business and construction processes from a LEAN approach not only leads to time and cost reductions but also to quality improvements. We optimize the process, among other things, by establishing a joint schedule with all parties involved (including our construction partners) at an early stage. This directly identifies and collectively prevents potential bottlenecks.
Organogram
In the LEAN philosophy, the inverted pyramid is part of the organizational structure (organogram). The shop floor is central, and everyone works in support of the shop floor. Within a LEAN organization, the process is leading. Over time, working in departmental structures is phased out. In their place, work is conducted in construction flows and improvement teams.
Learning organization
The LEAN organizational structure is a step towards a learning organization. By focusing on creating value and eliminating waste and failure costs, a LEAN company is capable of continuously improving itself and its processes.
