Is Education in Lean Construction Leading or Lagging?
Lean Construction (LC) has rapidly increased its popularity among the major contractors in the Danish Building industry. Research indicates however that some contractors have more LC in their mouth than in their hands so to speak. A main reason for this is likely that knowledge and competences in terms of LC principle and tools is missing at the contractors. Several of the large Danish contractors have internal educational programs aiming at learning employees at all levels LC. Also Leanconstruction.dk offers training in LC methods. One might ask if we have reached a local optimum with the current state of LC knowledge available through different educational programs. The most effective way to achieve increased knowledge in the building industry is to disseminate knowledge through traditional educations from Vocational training through Bachelor, Master and PhD programs. This paper looks into how well LC is implemented and teached in the Danish educational programs surrounding the building industry. Hence, the purpose of this paper is first to identify LC teaching at all educational levels throughout all relevant Danish schools, college universities and universities. This investigation will include both amount and topics. Secondly to investigate how well LC is adopted and applied in the Danish building industry. Thirdly, to discuss the findings and put forward the consequences of this (mis)match, and finally to propose directions for both educational institutions and practitioners. The research has collected data from all relevant Danish institutions in terms of syllabus, course descriptions and clarifying interviews with lectures when needed. Data from the industry has also been collected through a questionnaire, interviews with key stakeholders and through Leanconstruction.dk
