Wesley Joyce0:00 Hey, my name is Wesley Joyce, and I'm a fourth year construction management major here at Georgia Tech.0:06 I was recently working on a Turner building, so you can see behind me.0:10 There's a crane behind this house right here.0:13 It was my old job site.0:14 But anyways, I just wanted to talk briefly today about lean construction and the principles that are being applied across our industry and how not everybody recognizes them or works by them the same.0:25 And the example I want to talk about today is a pull plan.0:28 And we had a pool plan to kick off the hanging of our ceilings.0:33 And when you make a pull plan, the whole purpose of it is to build out from the work that you need.0:38 So you pull back from it, you see what work supersedes what you need to go.0:42 So you work backwards.0:43 And we did this.0:44 We did this daily, and we would recheck our schedule at all times to make sure that we were working backwards in the right manner and that we were gonna have time to get what we needed done done.0:53 However, what we messed up is we didn't include our mechanical subcontractor in certain areas where we thought he wasn't necessary.1:02 So this completely just nullified our pool plan.1:05 Um we'd work through it with everybody, we'd had our sticky notes hung up for weeks, then we realized that we have duct work and trend that needs to get moved, and we're just completely unaware.1:17 So that's something that you know is a is a very light example, but it's very important to have everybody on page, um, especially when you're working back from a milestone.1:27 Um you have to look at everything around the milestone.
