In this podcast, I share a webinar held with Dr. Luciana Bardi and Darcy DeGeorge from the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport). MassPort is a state authority responsible for three airports including Logan International Airport, four maritime facilities as well as real estate in Boston. They give an overview of Massport along with the lean engineering and construction process improvements that were implemented in the past few years, and the results and impact of their improvements on the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.In 2022, they received the Excellence in Sustainable Development Award from the Sustainable Development Division with the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE).
