Reflecting on how TD's vision for Lean has changed, the presentation will explore Lean as it is applied in a pre-fab shop and at the project site. This includes the 5 areas of focus: 5S, Pull Planning, Constraint Analysis, 6 Week Planning, and Essential Conversations. At the conclusion, speaker Tim McNew will provide some insight into the challenges faced and what is next for TD.  For information and to register please click here.
