Rebecca Snelling, JE Dunn Construction, will receive the Lean Construction Institute (LCI) Chairman’s Award for her contributions to LCI and the wider design and construction industry.
Rebecca began her Lean journey 12 years ago by implementing Lean approaches while working for a construction company. Since then, she joined JE Dunn Construction and has made achievements in pioneering Lean in the design and construction community as their vice president and national Lean director. In the course of her six years with JE Dunn, Rebecca has inspired numerous Lean champions to spread Lean implementation on projects across the nation, encouraging many of them to become LCI instructors and support local LCI Communities of Practice (CoP) events. Rebecca’s support for LCI has been displayed in the form of presentations at CoP events across the country, as well as national events like the LCI Annual Congress.
While serving on the LCI Education Advisory Group, Rebecca hosted a knowledge transfer session that led to the publication of “Target Value Delivery: A Practitioner Guidebook – Current State 2016”. Today, Rebecca is an experienced Lean practitioner approved to instruct the LCI Target Value Delivery course. Rebecca also helped develop three LCI publications, including the latest to be released in 2018, “Don’t Conform, Transform!”.
“Rebecca is a nationally-recognized Lean Construction expert and practitioner whose early career was marked by her ability to spread Lean deployment effectively among numerous firms with whom she has worked as a consultant,” says Dan Heinemeier, LCI executive director.
As an experienced Lean leader, Rebecca is consistent in leading project teams in the implementation of Last Planner System in order to deliver projects on time and on budget without sacrificing value delivered to the owner. She will be honored with the LCI Chairman’s Award in Orlando, Fla.
