Design It. Test It. Improve It. Before You Build It. How Lean, 3P, and AI Help Prevent Costly Design Mistakes and Create Better Work Environments

What if you could discover design problems before they become expensive realities?

Imagine opening a new facility, renovating a workspace, or introducing a new operational layout, only to discover that equipment doesn’t fit, employees must walk unnecessary distances, or the design creates safety and workflow challenges?

What if the people who actually use the space could experience and test it before it was built?

Join the Continuous Improvement Lean Collaborative (CILC) for an engaging session exploring how Lean, 3P (Production Preparation Process) uses low-cost, full scale prototypes to help people physically test proposed environments before costly decisions become permanent.

We’ll also explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can help teams evaluate additional design scenarios and identify opportunities for improvement

What you will Discover:

• Experience before construction: How physical mockups and simulations reveal problems that drawings and meetings can miss.
• Reduce waste and costly rework: Identify layout, movement, safety, and workflow issues earlier.
• Engage the people closest to the work: Move beyond asking for opinions to letting end-users actually test the design.
• Explore the possibilities of AI: Discover how AI-supported scenarios can complement Lean thinking and physical testing.

Who should attend?

Whether you work in healthcare,manufacturing, construction, government services or another industry, this session offers a different perspective on designing environments around people who use them.
