Levels of the Last Planner® System
*Milestone – The Strategic Plan
“30,000’ View” (12 – 18 months)Typically done
once on most
projects1
* Phase Pull – Sequence & Activity Handoffs
“10,000’ View” (2 – 4 months)
Typically done 3-
4 times on a
project, and as
time goes on,
before the WWP
is “looking further
out” than the
phase plan.
2
*Weekly Work Plan – The Schedule
“Where the rubber hits the road” (6 weeks)
Should be
updated on a
daily (5-15
minute) and
weekly (30-45
minute) basis.

48. What Are The Results?:
2. Case Study

Case Study Thesis
● “Traditional design management follows a large batching
process through SD, DD and CD (Schematic Design,
Design Development, Construction Documentation).
● “Such large batching causes information buildup and
multiple assumptions are made on out of date
information.
● “Misunderstandings are a root cause for the most waste
in design and construction.
● “This results in incomplete and late design.”

50. 51
● Finished 2 months early – 17% time savings
● Better quality product – 53% fewer design
issues

52. How do we start?

53. 54
Who needs to be part of the session?
● At least one person from each firm
involved in design:
○ Project Manager and/or lead
design
○ A person from that firm with
authority to commit resources.
● Choose a facilitator:
○ someone who knows the
process
○ keeps the session running on
time
○ focused on making sure the
entire team provides input.

54. 55
Where should we pull plan?
● Find a suitable room in which to hold the
pull planning session
○ Location where most teams can attend
● Clear space from the wall for
collaboration:
○ No tables in the way
○ All for plenty of group
movement and discussion

55. 56
How do I prepare my team?
● Meet with your leadership team to set the
expectations:
○ Decide on the Milestone
○ Identify separate areas of work that
will need to be pulled separate
○ Create separate “swimlanes” by
areas, buildings, floors, etc)
● Clarify any “Conditions of
Satisfaction” for major
milestones and deliverables.

56. 57
What do we need?
● Print or have ready electronically
necessary visuals to facilitate the
team’s discussions and understanding
of the project and project needs.
● Provide extra material:
○ Blank Scope Cards
○ Post-it notes
○ Tape
○ Markers
○ Paper
AND don’t forget the FOOD! ;)

57. In conclusion - to reduce BIM waste:
- Identify your BIM customers
- Identify non-value add (waste)
- Sequence your virtual build
- Implement Pull Planning
- Cultivate the right environment
- Get food
