Last Planner®️ System Training & Takt-Based Implementation | Elevate Construction

Why Your Last Planner®
System Feels Fragile

For more than a generation, the Last Planner® System has helped teams collaborate, commit, and build trust. We love LPS. But across the industry, especially on CPM-driven projects and larger jobs, the results have been inconsistent and hard to scale.

What you see on the job:

  • Foremen frustrated and skeptical about another “Lean meeting”
  • Superintendents feeling like they’re carrying the whole system alone
  • Weekly meetings that feel repetitive and reactive
  • Promises breaking, trust eroding, and roadblocks overwhelming the plan
  • Flow collapsing under its own weight no matter how many sticky notes are on the board

The real root cause:

  • LPS is being run on top of CPM schedules that were never designed for flow
  • Milestones are mathematically generated, not flow-based
  • Phases and zones are batched in ways trades cannot actually build
  • Weekly plans are being created from scratch instead of filtered from a real production system

Last Planner® + Takt + Takt Steering & Control = A Complete System

The Last Planner® System is a collaborative commitment framework—its entire power comes from involving the people closest to the work, making reliable promises, and learning every week. It was never meant to fix a broken schedule, compensate for batching, or stand alone without a flow-based master plan.

We pair your Last Planner® System with:

  • Takt Planning* – to design zones, takt time, trains of trades, and buffers based on real throughput, not software.
  • Takt Steering & Control (TS+C)* – to provide the operating system that levels workflow, defines zones, designs trains of trades, aligns supply chain logistics, and integrates visual meeting systems.

Together, this becomes the Integrated Production Control System™

  • Takt = the design of the production system
  • Last Planner® = the control of the production system

What We Help Your Team Do 100%

We don’t just “teach a class” and walk away. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your team to implement the full Last Planner® System, integrated with Takt and Takt Steering & Control, on real projects.

Pull Planning (Phase Planning)

  • Collaborative phase planning sessions where trades pull from flow-based takt milestones, not CPM guesses.
  • Clear trade-to-trade handoffs and a “train of trades” sequence mapped by zone.

Look-Ahead / Make-Ready Planning

  • A structured six-week look-ahead window where only sound, ready work enters the weekly plan.
  • Identification of materials, information, access, inspections, and permits before they become tomorrow’s crisis.

Weekly Work Planning

  • Weekly work plans that are filtered from the pull plan and Takt plan, not rebuilt from scratch each Friday.
  • Foremen commit to realistic, flow-aligned work that is truly ready—these are promises, not wishes.

Daily Huddles & Day Planning

  • Transform your daily huddle by moving it to the afternoon-before, protecting the highest-value morning production hours.
  • Foremen walk into each morning already aligned on where to go, what’s ready, and what support is needed so crews can start in full flow.

PPC and Modern Flow Metrics

We train your team to track more than just PPC:
  • Percent Plan Complete (PPC): promise reliability at the task level
  • Perfect Handoff Percentage: did the next trade receive their area on time, in the right condition?
  • Remaining Buffer Ratio: how fast are you burning through your planned buffers?
  • Roadblock Removal Average: how many days before the work start are roadblocks being removed?
These four metrics become the “vital signs” of your production system and transform your LPS from reporting to real learning.

Constraints vs. Roadblocks

We implement a simple but powerful distinction:
  • Constraints – permanent or systemic limits inside the production system (zones, takt time, throughput, physical limits).
  • Roadblocks – temporary, removable barriers like missing materials, failed inspections, or late permits.
This clarity fixes accountability and PDCA. Foremen own roadblock removal; leadership owns system design changes.

Takt Planning & Work Structuring

  • Design correct zones, takt time, and trains of trades well before execution.
  • Use first run studies and throughput analysis to base durations on real production, not guesswork.
  • Structure work for flow across zones so Last Planner® no longer has to fight a bad plan.

Daily Zone Control Walks & Field Behaviors

  • Implement Daily Zone Control Walks to verify readiness, support handoffs, and surface roadblocks early.
  • Train your superintendents and foremen to “finish as you go and prepare ahead,” not punch everything at the end.

The Complete Meeting & Information System

We align your Last Planner® meetings with the TS+C information flow:
  • Strategic Planning & Procurement Meeting
  • Trade Partner Weekly Tactical (Look-Ahead + Weekly Work Plan)
  • Foreman Daily Huddle (afternoon-before)
  • Daily Worker Huddles & Crew Prep
  • Daily Team Huddle (First Planners)
  • Daily Zone Control Walks
This cadence turns your meetings into an information circulatory system—not bureaucracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can, but you’ll be fighting uphill. The Last Planner® System was never meant to operate on top of CPM logic or poorly structured phases. Pairing LPS with Takt gives you flow-based milestones, real zones, and buffers so the system can finally work as intended

We answer everything by asking, “what would respect people?” What would respect our employees, our customers, society, and ourselves. We do not do things that disrespects people.

Yes. We regularly join teams on-site to facilitate sessions, coach leaders, and walk the field so the system is grounded in real conditions—not just theory.

Absolutely. We start with a pilot project, build your playbook, and then support you in scaling a standard Integrated Production Control System™ across your portfolio.

    Testimonials

    Testimonials

    "The bootcamp I was apart of was amazing. Its was great while it was happening but also had a very profound long-term motivation that is still pushing me to do more, be more. It sounds a little strange to say that a construction bootcamp changed my life, but it has. It has opened my eyes to many possibilities on how a project can be successfully run. It’s also provided some very positive ideas on how people can and should be treated in construction.

    I am a hungry person by nature, so it doesn’t take a lot to get to participate. I loved the way it was not just about participating, it was also about doing it with conviction, passion, humility and if it wasn’t portrayed that way you had to do it again."

    "It's great to be a part of a company that has similar values to my own, especially regarding how we treat our trade partners. The idea of "you gotta make them feel worse to make them do better" has been preached at me for years. I struggled with this as you will not find a single psychology textbook stating these beliefs. In fact it is quite the opposite, and causing conflict is a recipe for disaster. I'm still honestly in shock I have found a company that has based its values on scientific facts based on human nature. That along with the Takt scheduling system makes everything even better. I am happy to be a part of a change that has been long overdue in our industry!"

    "Wicked team building, so valuable for the forehumans of the sub trades to know the how and why. Great tools and resources. Even though I am involved and use the tools every day, I feel like everything is fresh and at the forefront to use"

    "Jason and his team did an incredible job passing on the overall theory of what they do. After 3 days of running through the course I cannot see any holes in their concept. It works. it's proven to work and I am on board!"

    "Loved the pull planning, Takt planning, and logistic model planning. Well thought out and professional"

    "The Super/PM Boot Camp was an excellent experience that furthered my understanding of Lean Practices. The collaboration, group involvement, passion about real project site experiences, and POSITIVE ENERGY. There are no dull moments when you head into this training. Jason and Mr. Montero were always on point and available to help in the break outs sessions. Easily approachable to talk too during breaks and YES, it was fun. I recommend this training for any PM or Superintendent that wants to further their career."
