Elevate Construction Ep.1113 - Last Planner® Has the Concept of PULL wrong!
In this podcast we cover:
- What pull is.
- Why pull is not our first method.
- What will happen if you follow the stupidity of what the industry teaches now about pull.
In this episode, Jason challenges one of the most misunderstood concepts in lean construction: pull. Too often the industry treats pull as the master principle, ignoring the long supply chains, complex procurement, and predictive planning that real projects demand. Jason explains why Last Planner implementations frequently fail without forecasting, and he dismantles the myth that just-in-time delivery means skipping laydown yards or advance procurement. With real examples like switchgear lead times and curtain wall staging, he shows how the industry has pull wrong and what needs to change. You will learn why predictive planning and tact are essential, how pull should function as a refining tool, and what it takes to finally align construction with lean principles that actually work in the field.
