Colorado Chapter Lean Tool Gathering:

"The Last Planner System"


 

 

The Last Planner is a system of lean construction principles that help increase the reliability of a planning system and thereby significantly improve performance.  The Last Planner system involves action at many different levels starting with the master schedule covering an entire project, followed by a detailed phase schedule emerging from collaborative planning; the lookahead schedule comes next with constraints analysis and making assignments ready. The last step is developing the weekly work plan and measuring percent plan complete.

The Last Planner methodology explicitly defines criteria for making quality assignments. The Last Planner considers those quality criteria in advance of committing production units to doing work in order to shield these units from uncertainty and variability. The plan's success at reliably forecasting what work will get accomplished by the end of the week is measured in terms of Percent Plan Complete or PPC. Root causes for plan failure are then investigated at the end of each week so they may be avoided in the future.

 

Increasing PPC leads to increased performance, not only of the production unit that executes the Weekly Work Plan, but also of production units downstream as they can better plan when work is reliably released to them. Implementation of the Last Planner therefore results in more reliable flow and higher throughput of the production system.
