It’s important to understand that Job Order Order Contracting,JOC, is not simply a procurement method. Job Order Contracting, when properly understood and deployed, is a LEAN construction delivery method that minimizes waste and improves overall construction outcomes.
The LEAN OpenJOC Framework(TM) is a proven method for developing, delivering, and sustaining consistent planning and execution of quality, on-time and on-budget repair, renovation, and new construction projects.
It includes required products, processes, information, and services to enable the integration, collaboration, and leverage of multiple internal and external teams and areas of expertise.
The OpenJOC Framework was created to more efficiently leverage the combination of the collaborative Job Order Contracting construction delivery methodology with LEAN processes within a fully transparent environment. Focus is upon outcomes and enabling all participants to be self-sufficient within an atmosphere of mutual trust, shared risk/reward, and continuous improvement.
This is a new way of conducting day-to-day activities within the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Owners, AECOO sector, that optimizes the overall strategy outcomes for all participating organizations. It is not only an improvement over traditional design-bid-build(DBB) and design-build(DB) construction delivery, but also superior to alternative forms of Job Order Contracting.
It achieves this goal by building competencies, including owner leadership, and focusing upon delivering mutual benefit, for all participants. There is no favoring of owners versus contractors, and counterproductive used of intermediary third parties and/or JOC consultants on a long term basis.
The OpenJOC Framework is a scale-free architecture, both in process and technology, enabling any size of organization to gain significant measurable benefit. Processes that don’t add value are removed in favor of clear definition of roles, responsibilities, stages, rules, and metrics.
