A breakthrough transformation in the facilities industry is underway.   Cut spending, streamline workflow processes, reduce energy use, and use less space, less time, and less manpower.

The implementation of Lean to dramatically lower the cost of constructing and operating facilities is the new management frontier in the facilities assets arena.

Lean processes are the result of identifying major inefficiencies and instituting key process changes that create value, reduce waste, streamline workflow, reduce human effort, lower capital investment, and shrink timelines. In the facilities arena, this means big capital savings and reduced timelines on construction projects, and lower costs of facilities operations and management.

Attend the St. Petersburg conference March 30-31 to benchmark your Lean thinking and initiatives against the cost-saving, value-increasing successes of others. This is the place to get ahead of the management curve on Lean management initiatives, implementation strategies, and institution-wide policy and process changes for FM and capital projects.

Specifically, you’ll learn:

- The application of Lean principles to the facilities challenge
- New analytical methods to identify waste and inefficiency
- Lean project management models that cut capital costs & timelines
- Lean initiatives to cut facilities operating costs
- Lean facility design for more efficient work flow and cost reduction
- Sustainability and energy policies, programs, and projects
- Techniques for training, staffing, and structuring Lean initiatives

Full program details will be available November, 2008.
