Abstract

![CDATA[Shutdown construction installation operations are logistically and technically challenging when coupled with significantly limited space and restricted material delivery parameters. This case study will examine the pre-mobilisation planning for a publicly sensitive 2.5 rail bridge in Melbourne, Australia. It was on the critical path of an AUD 542 million infrastructure project. A leading Lean Consulting Firm organised and facilitated Value Stream Mapping (VSM) working sessions to assist the involved organisations in working through various issues such as material logistics, crew staffing and installation processes to determine the optimum cost/risk balance for stakeholders. The result was a well-balanced and reasoned installation approach which eventuated in better-than-expected outcomes.]]
