Toyota Production System • VALUE is only what the customer will pay for • The only people who add VALUE are those who “touch, transform, or transport” a physical part of the final product • People who do not touch the material do not add VALUE 7 CIFE TAC 2014 Copyright 2012 Managing Construction Parts – From Manufacturing to Construction YEAR ONE RESULT Part \ˈpärt\ noun Any entity requiring act(s) of installation that composes the final building product 8 CIFE TAC 2014 Copyright 2012 Managing Construction Parts – From Manufacturing to Construction YEAR ONE RESULT Part \ˈpärt\ 9 CIFE TAC 2014 Copyright 2012 Managing Construction Parts – From Manufacturing to Construction YEAR ONE RESULT Part \ˈpärt\ 10 CIFE TAC 2014 Copyright 2012 Managing Construction Parts – From Manufacturing to Construction YEAR ONE RESULT How many “Parts” in the Hotel Study Case?
