Chris Wearne, FICE, is a Chartered Civil Engineer who has been at the forefront of the effort to adapt LEAN techniques to infrastructure Projects. Prior to working in Lean he accumulated over 25 years Project Management experience in highways, heavy civil and waterways, in Construction, Design and Client roles. Since 2010 he has successfully introduced Lean techniques such as Process Improvement, Collaborative Planning and Choosing By Advantages into work for major clients such as Highways England, Environment Agency, United Utilities, Thames Tideway and the Qatar Government.

In this talk Chris will outline the challenges faced by the THAMES TIDEWAY project team, outline the preparation carried out for the workshop and describe the way in which the “Choosing By Advantages process” helped the cross-discipline group achieve their objectives to make a clear recommendation on the safety advantages of a specific construction option. He will conclude by describing the outputs of the workshop and outline some thoughts on how Choosing By Advantages techniques can tie in with other LEAN tools.
