I have been a big fan of this book for over a year and am using it to advance knowledge of Lean Construction in our company, especially setting up what I find the most powerful tool: Last Planner System (tm) against our most repeatable process: PM-CM work management. This summer I expect the opportunity take a number of leaders of projects through study-action, engulfing the first seven chapters (200 pp) of this book with company teachings on The Toyota Way and making use of AGC LCEP: Lean Construction Education Program offerings, in short sessions as follows:
* Need for new approaches to construction (tied to Ch1)
* Transition from productivity measurement to process improvement (tied to Ch2)
* AGC Lean construction 101 (tied with Ch3) possibly AGC LCEP Module 1 & 2 workshop(s)
* Last Planner System(tm) (tied with Ch4)
* The Toyota Way 14-Principles and lean tools in construction projects (tied with Ch5)
* Lean Construction Applications and four Case Studies (Ch6)
* IPD contract "teaming" with case studies (tied with Ch7)
I want to thank the authors for enabling this knowledge growth in my company. Other credits: Last Planner System is a trademark and body of work from the Lean Construction Institute; LCEP is a product of The Associated General Contractors of America.;The Toyota Way is authored by Dr. Jeffrey K. Liker and published by McGraw-Hill.

Good text on Lean/IPD, I had the pleasure of having Dr. Forbes as a professor and he is a great instructor. The text is truly tailored to construction and Dr. Forbes wrote it as he could not find a text that was focused on construction. The text would be a great addition to both the construction professional/student and the industrial engineer.
