Using the Last Planner and Scrum to Schedule Interiors

Detailing a CPM schedule at schematic design is not only a waste of time. It is useless, distracting, and irresponsible. Submitting a CPM schedule says we had one person detail this plan without team input and are now asking you to trust this person guessed what you want perfectly. Submitting a Takt plan says our team sketched out the simplest plan possible and we can quickly collaborate with you to accomplish your needs. Takt planning in schematic design is fast, nimble, and real time. Designers and stakeholders can learn to adjust the Takt plan themselves. This saves countless days redoing CPM schedules. Your scheduling department has more capacity to delight the owner in preconstruction. More time for constructability reviews, coordination, integration, design pull planning, cost estimation, target value design.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why proposal with Takt shows wisdom: uses historical production rates and process analysis instead of guessing detailed logic without design
• The design development workflow: finalize strategy, identify constraints, perform Takt analysis, develop roadblock system, begin at 50 percent DD
• The three huddles: afternoon format for day planning, morning worker for entire site, crew preparation 15 to 25 minutes with pretask plans
• The five sections of integrated production control: plan, environment, accountability, continuous improvement, presumes respect and stability for workers
• What workers need to succeed: what building, how to install, where to put it, materials, equipment, clean environment, safe environment

The Takt plan is one of your best referencing tools when managing a project.
