Some challenges that you can expect to see in the construction sector are too much demand, long lead times, and too much customization. When there’s a high volume of demand, a company can suffer from operational costs. It can also create difficulties for a business’s employees and impact the work culture.

Government Funding Options Within the Infrastructure, Construction & Building Products Sector
In addition to the tangible financial benefits possible through lean, much of the research and development efforts (labour, materials, and subcontracts) required in the Infrastructure, Construction & Building Products sector could be eligible to be recovered through government funding, such as through the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program in Canada.
There are applicable government grants to aid with the upfront costs of corporate training that is typically required during the implementation of Lean Six Sigma / Continuous Improvement methodologies. There are also other grants specifically designed to cover costs associated with process improvement implementation, exports, sales, and marketing. AMSaxum experts in government funding help with the application of these grants and with the preparation of SR&ED claims.
