Introduction to Last Planner^® System

This Last Planner® workshop is designed to introduce participants to the five elements of the Last Planner®:

• Master Scheduling (setting milestones and strategy; identification of long lead items);
• Phase “Pull” planning (specify handoffs; identify operational conflicts);
• Make Work-Ready Planning (look ahead planning to ensure that work is made ready for installation; re-planning as necessary);
• Weekly Work Planning (commitments to perform work in a certain manner and a certain sequence); and
• Learning (measuring percent of plan complete (PPC), deep dive into reasons for failure, developing and implementing lessons learned).

In recent years, use of the Last Planner® system on projects and within both design and construction firms has increased dramatically. We are your resource to those who wish to utilize this robust planning system.
