This workshop is intended to give newcomers a broad awareness of the vocabulary, fundamental principles and basic practices of Lean Project Delivery. This can serve as a framework for learning how to apply lean thinking and methods to deliver significantly greater value on your projects and within your organization.

The training will provide a thorough explanation of the different aspects of the Last Planner System™. The class will utilize simulations, to show how the individual pieces of Last Planner System™ integrate with each other and provide real life examples of the use of Last Planner System™. Attendees will leave this training with enough knowledge and hands on experience to actively participate in Last Planner® on a project or within an organization.

• Dick Bayer

Objectives:

• Obtain an understanding of the LPS
• Develop an understanding of the skills and attitude necessary to truly cooperate successfully
• Identify the important ways the LPS structures the conversations necessary to work reliably.

The Villego® simulation enables participants to experience the contrast between traditional project management and the management of projects using the Last Planner System™ of Production Control. Participants will assume the various roles typical commonly found on project sites, including that of trade foremen, superintendents, and project managers. As part of a team you will be required to build a complete building out of LEGO® blocks within a given budget and time constraint.

The learning goals of this training include obtaining an understanding of the Last Planner System™, an understanding of the skills and attitude necessary to truly cooperate successfully, and the important ways the Last Planner System™structures the conversations necessary to work reliably. Participants will learn the importance of engaging all elements of the Last Planner System™ as a key piece of their Lean implementation.

“5 Why” is a common tool in problem solving, but ”5 Why” only gets to one root cause – often there are multiple root causes. For this we need a more robust methodology: Root Cause Analysis. This session will help participants learn “deep problem solving” skills. Participants will get hands-on experience doing a Root Cause Analysis on a real problem in their professional life.

Learning objectives:

• Participants will discover benefits of deep collaboration in scheduling
• Participants will learn that effective planning of a production system cnanot be done without the assistance of the people doing the work
• All participants will see that design of the production system is as important as the design of the building
