Takt Planning Workshop (April 12th, 13th) @P2SL

2601 Warring Street,Berkeley CA 94720

12 April, 2022

Description

During this workshop and through hands-on exercises you will learn the foundations of takt planning and how they relate to LPS®. The vPlanner team and P2SL are once again pleased to offer the on-site takt planning workshops. The workshop features 2-days of hands-on learning, including simulations, discussion, and problem-solving. Attendees will leave with an appreciation of how takt enables lean thinking and how it gives focus to continuous improvement efforts. Attendees will also leave with a solid understanding of how takt fits in the overall framework of the Last Planner System® and how it can improve flow on projects. Takt Planning (TP) is a work structuring method that enhances the Last Planner System®. TP improves resource and material flow and reliability by aligning the cycle time of the various processes within the production system so that the resulting plan can meet its overall objectives set by the takt calculation. TP reduces variability by setting a predictable production rate for activities across right-sized geographic work areas (smaller and repeatable batches). This highly disciplined planning approach allows teams to align their project supply chain work with the site's needs. It results in an easy-to-manage pull production system that produces what is needed when it is required. Agenda:Day 1 features a hands-on simulation designed to teach the principles of takt and how it fits in the overall framework of the Last Planner System®. Through hands-on exercises and discussion, participants will understand takt planning and its relation to lean thinking. Day 2 features an application of the principles to implement takt on a project. Participants will work in groups to develop a takt plan from a set of drawings. They will learn the best practices for work structuring, phase planning, takt analysis, crew balancing, and how to apply them in real-world situations. Fees: The general registration fee is $750 for one day or $1400 for both days.  Discounts: Discounts are available for current vPlanner users, active P2SL members, and group registrations. Please ask for the discount codes before you register by emailing [email protected]. Continuing Education Credits: Participants in the workshop may qualify for 15.0 CM-Lean CE credits from the AGC of America toward the renewal of AGC's Certificate of Management-Lean Construction (CM-Lean).
