Takt Planning - NEW COURSE
The Last Planner System® and pull planning are keys to collaborative planning needed by all superintendents, foremen, project managers, project engineers and project executives.
TAKT takes Last Planner® to the next level.
Takt Planning - NEW COURSE
TAKT Planning
TAKT is a highly visual planning and schedule system that shows three types of flow and allows buffers in one-process flow. This helps to limit work-in-process and increase the stability of production on the construction site. “This makes TAKT in my opinion the most efficient tool discovered to date for planning, scheduling and executing work in the industry of construction.” – Spencer Easton

Description
Description
Takt Planning is a detailed one-page, one-process flow schedule that focuses on throughput, bottlenecks, and ultimately, creating flow. It is accompanied by Lean practices to be the most effective scheduling tool in the industry for construction because it creates stable construction environments, enables total participation, and provides a basis upon which to improve all aspects of construction. In German, the word Takt means beat frequency or the regularity with which something gets done.
A new generation of blue-collar and white-collar design and construction professionals are using flow systems like Takt and Scrum to make work easier, better, and faster. Spencer Easton passionately teaches others how to increase efficiency by eliminating waste and variation. He actively pushes the limits of Scrum and Takt to enable systematic schedule improvements. He helps teams improve Takt adoption resulting in massive time savings!
