In this episode, Jason dives deep into the Last Planner System not just to explain it, but to start building a clear, modern, and practical manual that actually works in today’s construction environment.
Too many of the resources we rely on are the same ones published 10, 20, even 25 years ago. They haven’t kept up with the realities of flow, trade collaboration, and the integration of Takt planning. It’s time to change that.
Here’s what we cover:
Why the Last Planner must be paired with Takt (not CPM) if you want accurate milestones and real trade flow.
The core meetings, deliverables, and behaviors that make the system succeed.
How to move beyond outdated “weekly work plans from scratch” and filter commitments from a real production plan.
Critical corrections we must make from how we track Percent Plan Complete, to when daily huddles should actually happen.
If you’re serious about implementing Last Planner the right way with respect for people, reliable commitments, and flow that works, this episode is for you.
