Petronas shares five years of PPM implementation results, demonstrating how integrated digital construction solutions, WIP control, and production system thinking have delivered over $400 million in value and transformed project teams into active believers.
Todd Zabelle challenges the industry’s century-old administrative approach to project delivery, showing how AI is already displacing knowledge work and why the future belongs to those who treat projects as production systems rather than contract management exercises.
Gary Fischer opens the 12th Annual PPI Symposium by framing unprecedented infrastructure investment demands and introducing PPI’s educational programs at Texas A&M and Stanford designed to prepare industry leaders for the coming transformation in construction.
The Project Production Institute’s technical conference showcased significant industry progress in adopting production management principles, with strong academic partnerships yielding high-quality research presentations from prior PPI award recipients. Educational pathways include Stanford’s intensive six-month Modern Construction Program focused on ...
Construction teams in fast-cycle cast-in-place concrete work currently lack access to real-time and automated raw production data, including start and end time, the number and location of labor and equipment as resources, limiting their ability to efficiently and effectively model and control production. Without such data, construction teams are unable to make re ...
Current construction management techniques center around the ‘iron triangle’ of scope/quality, schedule, and resource use, with the common understanding that only two of these three aspects can be optimized in a project. On the other hand, the Project Production Institute (PPI) advocates an Operations Science-based approach to managing projects using five levers ...
Boreal Energy Systems addresses North America’s exponential electricity demand growth through factory-built micromodular reactors that deliver 1-5 megawatts of clean power with dramatically compressed deployment timelines. The solution tackles critical infrastructure gaps where traditional nuclear plants require decade-plus delivery while data centers, tran ...
The construction industry faces a growing labor shortage, particularly in skilled trades, leading to increased costs and operational risks. Raise Robotics addresses this challenge with a modular robotic platform designed to automate high-risk, repetitive tasks on construction sites. By initially focusing on building envelope construction, the company demonstrated ...
