📊 In Lean design and construction, continuous improvement is key. As AI becomes more part of our world it is beginning to support our industry in various ways. Artificial intelligence is a game-changer as it can track variances, delays, and performance metrics quickly with a high accuracy rate. By catching issues early workflows can be improved and become more efficient. With data-driven insights, teams can apply lessons learned across projects, boosting overall efficiency.

Lean vs. Six Sigma: What's the difference? Both Lean and Six Sigma are powerful methodologies for improving efficiency and quality, but they have distinct approaches. Six Sigma focuses on data-driven quality control, minimizing defects, and striving for perfection. Lean, on the other hand, emphasizes eliminating waste, optimizing workflows, and creating a culture of continuous improvement. In the design and construction industries, a Lean approach can be especially effective, driving efficiency and fostering collaboration.
