The Solutions
Companies change when they implement three key systems:
Personal & Team Organization Systems
Project leaders cannot train, improve, or implement if they do not have a personal organization system, and the team cannot function if they do not work together. Personal and team organization is the first step in any scaling effort.
IPC™
Schroeder developed the Integrated Production Control System™ to create success for projects from every level, and for every worker. The system combines all Lean thinking ideas into a construction project delivery system.
TPS®
Projects fail because they start out incorrectly. They start with the wrong plan and schedule, and two-thirds of the way through are in chaos. Only with the Takt Production System® can a project be planned with flow.

Based on these lean principles, we develop a company operating system that guides success your way.
