Takt Planning with VisiLean

An integrated approach to planning

VisiLean’s foundations are deeply rooted in Lean construction principles. As a dedicated production management platform, VisiLean integrates top-down CPM-based scheduling with bottom-up collaborative planning from the Last Planner® System. Now, with the brand-new Takt Planning Module, VisiLean provides a comprehensive approach and an integrated solution to construction project management.

Enhanced Scheduling Accuracy

Integrating Takt Planning with CPM and LPS ensures that project schedules are synchronised across different planning levels. Takt Planning helps to establish a consistent workflow, CPM identifies critical tasks and their dependencies, and LPS involves frontline workers in planning the execution of tasks.

Optimised Resource Utilisation

By integrating these techniques, project managers can optimize resource utilization by ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently to critical tasks while maintaining a consistent pace of work.

Improved Coordination and Communication

With clear work allocation between Trades through enhanced workflows using Takt, and the involvement of frontline workers in planning and execution through LPS, VisiLean fosters collaboration and buy-in from the entire project team.

Improved Project Control

Project Managers can use Takt Planning to monitor progress from the site in real-time and identify deviations from the planned workflow, while the connection with the Master Schedule helps them identify the impact on the critical tasks that will affect the project’s overall timeline. This integrated approach allows for proactive management of project risks and issues.

Continuous Improvement

With an integrated module for planning and execution, project teams can identify bottlenecks, constraints, and opportunities for improvement throughout the project lifecycle.
