MAKE TIME FOR

D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E

By: Matt Kitzmiller, Lean Trainer, Corporate Training

he D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E. program at Rosendin is designed to reduce waste in the office and field.
The acronym D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E. refers to the eight wastes in the lean construction world:

TDefects, Overproduction, Waiting, Not utilizing talent, Transportation, Inventory excess,
Motion waste, Excess processing.

To participate in the D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E. program, Rosendin
employees access the fillable PDF from the company intranet site
(pictured). From there, the employee selects which waste(s) they
are combating, describes the waste, and provides a proposed
solution with the anticipated time it will save in the workplace.
The employee will then click the submit button, select the
preferred email client in the window that appears, and send
an auto-generated email with the D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E. document
attached to the Learning and Development Department and
their supervisor.
Every D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E. submission will receive an individual
recognition in the company's quarterly newsletter and a $50
credit to the Rosendin Company Store. Each quarter, the
Learning and Development Department will randomly draw
one submission. That person will be offered an all-expenses
paid trip to the Lean Construction Institute's (LCI) Annual
Congress Conference, pending manager approval. The Congress
Conference is a learning event that brings Owners, Architects,
and the building community together to learn and share how we
are all transforming the built environment.
