Module 2 | Last Planner System in Design - 1.0 PDH (LA CES/non-HSW)
Recorded On: 06/14/2023
The Last Planner System® (LPS) focuses on generating and maintaining flow in work processes by promoting conversations between team members so they can identify problems before those issues interrupt the flow of work. This session introduces the five levels of the LPS around which all planning occurs: should, can, will, did, and learn.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the five elements of the Last Planner System, including how they work together and apply them to the design phase of a project.
- Gain knowledge of the benefits of using the Last Planner System in design on a project.
- Understand the difference in push versus pull methodology to maintain workflow.
- Understand how innovation increases when lookahead planning allows team members to contribute unique countermeasures in real time.
