Weekly Work Plan
Просмотров 14 тыс.7 лет назад
At the Weekly Work Planning Sessions, visual planning logs specify accountability for every task. The team maintains a Constraint Log with dates and responsible individuals for resolution. A Parking Lot log identifies questions that need to be answered to plan the work. The Variance and Percent Plan Complete Log identifies when committed work is not completed and why. It provides an overview of...
Phase Pull Plan
Просмотров 16 тыс.7 лет назад
On a typical construction project, the hand-off of work often isn’t reliable and flow of production is not steady. The dates and durations of the schedule are determined by a few people who aren’t involved with the day-to-day tasks. Your team needs to consider the handling of work, information, and materials - your resources - far enough upstream to identify and eliminate issues that interrupt ...
Six Week Look Ahead
Просмотров 20 тыс.7 лет назад
In the 6 Week Look Ahead, you’ll assign a specific duration to each phase of work and lay them out on weekly planning boards, allotting for every work day in a week. You’ll identify and flag constraints, discuss handoffs of work and conditions of satisfaction, and mark target conditions. This is the stage where teams make a commitment...a promise...to complete a set of tasks each week based on ...
Daily Huddle
Просмотров 10 тыс.7 лет назад
The Daily Huddle Meetings begin once the Weekly Work plans have been established. They are held at either the very end or beginning of the work day and are usually no more than 15 minutes long. The Daily Huddle Meeting lets the team review what’s been promised for today, what’s coming for everyone tomorrow, and uncover any unforeseen issues that have just come to light. The Last Planner System,...

It raises the accountability of all participants, and it eliminates rework, waiting, and other wastes. Everybody wins. Workers are happy when they complete their work efficiently. Managers are happy when their projects run more smoothly. Owners are happy when ever...
Great information, and nice explanation
I like the questions posed. It’s it helps me understand snippets of what’s important in a few scenarios.
Great info highlighting the process. These snapshots hep me as a product manager creating software tools for building production.
1:01 this guy loves his job
This is like some grade school level stuff here.
boilermaker tuition: me:
Could you please share any books of Last Planner System?
Does any of this process happen within a software program?
Kevin - LPS is a formalization of the process to manage construction. There are plenty of software systems that can help aid in this (such as scheduling software or 3D modeling software), but there isn't a software program specific to LPS.
Check out TouchPlan
@@ejodonnell-lines9367 So does it mean LPS is like a planning or thinking process instead of a technology like BIM?
@@jamond1 Essentially, yes. LPS is a way of thinking/managing the job where BIM is a software that can help with that effort.
what does the tilted notes mean? finished activities?
Huddle Boards in my experience are just another pressure inducing tool. They reflect the very worst in micro management. Managers use it to ensure that at this daily interview you are put in the spot light where the less confident 'team members' are scrutinised and used as the preverbial scape goat.Team members can be asked to explain in detail in view of the other staff why they have not met a particular KPI etc. This discussion should not aired in public and should be between the line manager mand the defaulting 'team member' privately. If I was to meet the person who created them I would happily go to jail for murder. If you want a platform to intimidate your staff publicly the Huddle Board torture chamber is the way to go. We have the torture session daily.Unfortunately many companys have paid good money to train managers to engage with this abominable tool. Death to the board
Sounds like your company is doing it wrong. I am a production manager at a printing company and my two shifts of operators are happy to post their production numbers daily, with no reminders from me. I review them daily, but I don't berate them over their performance publicly. The transparency of the data isn't the issue, it's whether employees are treated respectfully. I think everyone can stand to learn from both positive and even negative trends in the visible data. That could foster feedback from the more productive team members, and it could prompt questions from the less productive team members. It's not the data, but how the data is used.
It puts pressure where pressure is needed. The guys who are keeping their commitments and taking care of business don't feel any pressure at all.
Excellent, concise overview of the Last Planner System. Thanks!
Awesome, Im from Brazil and I'm trying to apply Lean Thinking on constructions... But it's not easy.. Thank you for the video.. Att.João Meyer Kratz Civil Engineer joao.kratz@hotmail.com
