LCI - National Capital Region Chapter



Glenn Ballard and Greg Howell founded the Lean Construction Institute (LCI), a non-profit research organization, in August 1997. LCI's purpose is to reform the management of production in design, engineering and construction for capital facilities. LCI developed the Lean Project Delivery System™ (LPDS) that applies principles pioneered in manufacturing to construction. LPDS tools facilitate planning and control, maximizing value and minimizing waste throughout the construction process.

Howell and Ballard are the leading Lean theory researchers and educators for the construction industry. They regularly conduct seminars and address industry organizations on Lean Project Delivery, restructuring workflow, maximizing value and minimizing waste. Tools and techniques developed by LCI remove waste from design and construction processes and lead practicing companies to enhanced competitiveness and profitability.
