Workflow: Production Planning Process

This workflow describes the steps in the Production Planning process.

  1. Pull/Phase Plan
    The first step in production planning is to plan the sequence of work required to achieve the milestones in the master schedule.
  2. Look Ahead Plan
    The Look Ahead Plan (LAP) is a detailed breakdown of the phase schedule created by the Last Planners looking forward 6-weeks. This is sometimes called a Make-Ready plan.
  3. Weekly Work Plan
    The Weekly Work Plan (WWP) is created by the Last Planners each week as the most reliable commitment of what will be done during the next week.
  4. Daily Check-Ins
    Meet daily as a team to manage the Weekly Work Plan commitments.
  5. Review and Improve
    Teams learn from their failure to complete promised work by tracking whether work is complete by the promised date, by capturing root causes, and by discussing them each week.
