Pull planning is a lean technique that is being successfully deployed in the construction industry to help improve coordination, planning and ultimately reduce overall schedule durations. Participants will review case studies demonstrating the inefficiencies experienced on projects due to out of sequence work. An introduction to pull planning techniques and terminology will allow participants to join in on two separate hands on activities that illustrate the productivity improvements experienced as a result of batch flow and sequential work. At the conclusion of the session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the mechanics and terminology of pull planning
- Identify waste associated with out of sequence work
- Effectively participate in a pull planning session with owners or general contractors
Note: Classes are subject to cancellation two weeks in advance, in the event sufficient registration is not received. No refunds one week prior to class.
