Last Planner

Ahmed Ghowel
This provides marine engineers with a topic introduction, not in-depth exploration
Introduction
Last Planner is a lean construction
method that improves project planning
by involving frontline teams in
scheduling. It focuses on reliable
promises, collaboration, and continuous
improvement to reduce delays and
waste, ensuring smoother workflow and
better project outcomes.
Why Called !
It’s called "Last Planner" because it
empowers those closest to the work
(foremen, crews) to plan tasks, unlike
traditional top-down scheduling. This
ensures realistic commitments and
better execution.
Problem
Traditional planning often fails due to
unrealistic schedules, poor
communication, and delays. Last
Planner solves this by increasing
accountability, transparency, and
adaptability, reducing bottlenecks and
improving workflow reliability.
Steps
1-Master Scheduling – High-level timeline.
2-Phase Planning – Break into phases.
3-Lookahead Planning – Identify upcoming
tasks.
4-Weekly Work Planning – Commit to achieve
tasks.
5-Daily Huddles – Monitor progress.

*Boosts engagement by involving frontline teams


in planning.
Shipbuilding
A
Example
Korean shipyard reduced hull
assembly delays by 22% using Last
Planner, with weekly commitment rates
rising from 64% to 89% in 6 months
(Lean Construction Journal, 2022).
Ship Repair
Example
A U.S. Navy dry dock improved workflow
reliability by 35% by implementing Last
Planner, reducing rework and idle time
(NAVSEA report).
Ship Design
Example
A Norwegian design firm cut revision
cycles by 25% through better task
sequencing and team commitments
(NTNU study).
Analogy
Traditional Planning
= Building the entire mega block→ High risk of misalignment &
rework

Last Planner System


= Modular block construction:
1.Master Schedule = Keel-laying ceremony (overall vision)
2.Phase Planning = Pre-fabricating blocks (sequential workflow)
3.Weekly Commitments = Precision welding each block (trades
commitment)
4.Daily Huddles = Ultrasonic testing (quick quality checks)

Result: Fewer "hot work" corrections, faster milestone turnover


Other
Industries
•Construction: 30% fewer delays.

•Manufacturing: 40% faster


turnaround.

•Healthcare: Streamlined patient flow.
