What Changed in the 2020’s?
Fire Protection & Life Safety Systems Integrated Testing
It’s time to apply lean six sigma’s mistake-proofing approach in fire protection and life safety systems. The methodology had a long and successful history in its broad application across different industries — not only in manufacturing and the health systems but in many other fields.
“Integrated Systems Testing” is a new requirement of the Ontario Building Code, in effect since January 1, 2020 for construction new projects in Ontario. Other provincial jurisdictions across Canada have similar requirements.
CloserToLean and our technical partners–leaders in fire protection and life safety systems–are pleased to provide you our services.
