Optimizing repair, renovation, maintenance, and new construction outcomes isn’t difficult. It does, however, require a robust LEAN Job Order Contracting programmatic framework. Real property owner leadership and commitment to fundamental change from traditional methods are the first steps. Owner support and a programmatic LEAN JOC Program combine to integrate internal and external planning, procurement, and project delivery teams to enable the consistent delivery of quality repair, renovation, maintenance, and new builds on-time and on-budget, without excessive administrative cost or burden.
Status Quo
Public sector repair, renovation, maintenance, and new construction projects continue their legacy of failure due to two primary reasons:
1. Lack of owner leadership and support, and
2. Continued use of archaic and antagonistic planning, procurement, and project delivery methods.
Most poor outcomes can be traced to one or both of these primary failure points.
Change Management
All the tools and support services needed to assure significant improvement are readily available. Proper implementation of a programmatic approach to each project maximizes internal and external team collaboration, via shared workflows, information, and technology. This approach enables knowledge of those doing the work to be leveraged, as well as the necessary oversight to significantly improve outcomes.
