LEAN Logo 2 1

Journey counts itself among the few companies in the region that utilizes lean construction methods in the management of our projects and within our internal processes. Our lean mission is to create a culture of respect, curiosity and innovation by empowering our teams. We want our teams to think of better ways to execute work to make it more efficient and safer. By utilizing several lean construction tools, we strive to improve design and construction processes by reducing waste and variability, while increasing communication, collaboration and transparency within our internal and external crews.

We utilize several lean methods, such as Last Planner System, 5S, Process Mapping and Kanban systems to identify and reduce the impact of the eight deadly wastes and meet our customers’ needs. Our primary goal on each of our projects is to bring our construction and design teams together and talk collaboratively on the project schedule, constructability and design approaches.

Pull Plan 2

We utilize pull plans during design and construction to facilitate open communication and transparency throughout the project lifecycle and make use of Weekly Work Plans and Daily Huddles to engage our contractors in the planning process each week.
