Digitalisaatio ja lean rakentamisessa
How do you improve the profits of the construction industry’s supply chain and the quality of the final product?
The Digitalisaatio ja lean rakentamisessa (Digitalization and Lean in Construction Management) program gives you the latest information and tools for improving project efficiency and quality of construction.
The program draws on the experience gained from the “Building 2030” consortium project, a joint effort by Aalto University and various construction companies. In training, the results and experiences gained from research projects are introduced to companies through practical examples.
The work around Building 2030 is based on international comparisons, the adoption of best practices from other sectors, and changes in practices made possible by technology and digitalization. In addition to Aalto University, the Building 2030 project consortium includes 16 companies from the construction sector. Having a vision for the construction sector is considered preparation for future changes in the sector – such as digitalization, rapid urbanization, and climate change – while helping to ensure that the construction businesses can continue on a sustainable footing.
This program will be held in Finnish.
