Episode notes
Pull Planning Basics
- Start pull planning by declaring conditions of satisfaction and clarifying milestones.
- Explain the sequence and job site needs in a forward pass, then explain each trade partner's needs in a backward pass.
Five-Day Activity Pull Plan
- Jason Schroeder observed a pull plan where every activity was five days long, likely due to trade partners anchoring to the previous duration.
- The superintendent then shortened durations randomly without consulting the trades, counter to LeanTakt principles.
Advanced Pull Planning
- Instead of asking for average durations, ask trade partners for their fastest, average, and slowest durations for each task.
- Also ask for their smallest, average, and longest tack time stagger between activities.
