Presenting well-known tools and techniques, the Home Builder's Guide to Continuous Improvement provides important insights and necessary information to reduce cycle time duration and variation in order to improve quality and customer satisfaction and to minimize costs and accidents. Each chapter offers examples based on the authors' personal experience working with builders and trade contractors. Including figures and graphs to enhance the text, this book contains simple language, using residential construction industry terminology to improve understanding of continuous improvement concepts and practices. No previous math background is required, making it suitable for all levels.

Based on extensive experience working with home builders and subcontractors, the authors present information and insights for minimizing costs and process cycle time while maximizing quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. Presenting continuous improvement concepts, analytical tools, techniques, and methods first developed in manufacturing, they cover cycle time management; quality function deployment; problem identification, solving, and follow-up (the control phase in Sigma Six methodology); data design; software; and selection of the most appropriate tools for a residential construction project. The plastic comb-bound guide includes cases studies, diagrams, a glossary, and websites. Dr. Revelle is a veteran consulting statistician; Margetts works in the residential construction industry.
