To reduce cost and more effectively control schedules without compromising quality and safety, owners and contractors are looking to modernize construction. This includes productization, moving work offsite and the adoption of manufacturing-type production methods. Known as “Industrialized Construction,” this strategy can deliver significant benefit, but is not without challenges that have yet to be addressed by accepted project management practices.
Industrialized Construction requires 1) more detailed and better-quality engineering, 2) the ability to effectively manage supply chains, and 3) knowledge and application of production management, including its underlying theory of Operations Science.
To enable successful deployment of Industrialized Construction, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, in partnership with the Project Production Institute, is offering education and certification in modern production concepts and tools including concurrent digital engineering (CDE) and design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA).
This program will enable participants to understand the benefits of adopting a modern construction framework and enable companies to effectively deal with the new challenges of moving work offsite using production management. Specific focuses include offsite fabrication, supply chain optimization and design for offsite fabrication.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This program will benefit specialty contractors, general contractors, owners, construction managers, architects, engineers and suppliers who are involved in or responsible for work offsite, contemplating moving work offsite, and/or looking to adopt production management methods to modernize construction.
Two-day in-person introduction to PPM concepts, tools and applications using simulations and case examples. Course also includes evaluation of various application opportunities and preparation for Level 2 course.
Two-day in-person development of participant’s specific project along with deep dive into the Operations Science supporting PPM applications and tools. Completion of L1 required, as L2 begins with report outs and presentations based on course homework.
Using the concepts and tools learned from the first two courses, a participant applies their learnings to a sponsor-supported project. With mentoring and check-ins throughout the project execution (6-12 months), participants will demonstrate project knowledge in PPM, resulting in a PPM Specialty Certificate.
Master Level Certification is obtained by earning Specialty Certificates in two of the three tracks.
