Topic: How to Save a Troubled Project: Case Studies of Transitioning to Takt Planning at Project Closeout
Time: 12:00PM - 1:00PM
Summary: How do you shift the culture of a project to transition from full-on production to completion and closeout? One solution is Takt time - a planning tool with careful attention to balancing workflow and utilizing space as a resource.
Case study #1 will explore challenges from implementing a workforce management plan in the closeout phase when the project was executed with poor original planning and an incomplete critical path method schedule. Then
Case Study #2 will then apply the multiple lessons learned from Case Study #1. Takt planning is a practical application of executing a collaborative endeavor involving owner, contractor and subcontractors to switch everyone’s thinking from push to pull planning.
