DESCRIPTION
Miscommunications on the jobsite can result in construction projects being completed over-budget, past due or below contract specifications. Project teams – including schedulers, engineers, superintendents and jobsite workers – need a more effective way to avoid costly misunderstandings. LeanKit for Construction integrated with Oracle Primavera (P6) simplifies short-term planning and facilitates collaborative execution. It's an ideal way to help scale your use of the Lean / Last Planner methods beyond your initial pilot projects. The benefits of Last Planner combined with the administrative savings of LeanKit is a huge win for a very low price. Quick video demo of the integration: https://vimeo.com/user9276415/review/119900362/6aca58f58a

LeanKit for Construction
How Construction is Changing
Trends
• Increase process efficiency
• Deliver projects faster
• Remove variation and waste
Challenges
• Lack of shared visibility into work
• Miscommunicated handoffs
• Projects in disparate systems
The construction industry needs better tools to support the trend toward greater
collaboration.
Lean is the future of AEC
Lean projects achieve better results:
• 84% achieved higher quality projects
• 77% achieved greater productivity
• 64% achieved improved profitability (reduced costs)
And it’s quickly gaining momentum:
• 43% have implemented Lean (to some extent)
• 27% are familiar with Lean
• 30% are still unfamiliar

Last Planner
Kanban
Master
Schedule
•Key Phases & Milestones of the whole project•Detailed schedule may be built for budgeting•Or historic data used as well/instead•But details not considered a baseline that constrains further planning
Phase Plann
ing
•Outline schedule of the next project phase – especially for complex areas• Last Planners work backwards to identify and schedule activities• Focus is on shared understanding of goals & problem solving• Feeds back to master schedule for logic ties and testing
Look Ahea
d Plann
ing
•Rolling breakdown of detailed daily tasks by Last Planners•Goal is minimum duration, zero float sequencing of tasks• Float risks are identified as constraints•Those constraints should be removed prior to week of execution
Weekly
Work Plann
ing
• Last Planners make specific commitments – to each other – for this week’s work•Meet in daily huddles to keep close track on progress•Measure their Planned Percent Complete & reasons for variance• Implement continuous improvement ideas to reduce most common variances
