Understanding Job Order Contracting Evolution can be beneficial. Both Job Order Contracting, JOC, and Integrated Project Delivery, IPD are LEAN Construction Procurement and Delivery Methods.
JOC is specifically designed to support efficient renovation, repair, and minor new construction, whereas IPD is used primarily for major new construction.
Both IPD and JOC have a proven record of accomplishment, spanning decades, and are capable of consistently delivering over 90% of projects on time, on budget, and to the satisfaction of all participants and stakeholders. IPD and JOC, when professionally designed and implemented, are LEAN construction planning, procurement, and project delivery environments. LEAN Implementation ROADMAP for CONSTRUCTION
LEAN is a philosophy dating back as far as Henry Ford. At its core, LEAN is quite simple. LEAN is a way of thinking that bases decisions on long-term objectives rather than short-term wins, builds leaders and teams that thoroughly understand the work and share information and learnings to everyone involved, and “walk the talk”.
