In this podcast we cover:

• Answers to listener comments.
• What the Last Planner System is.
• Why we need a First Planner System.

In this episode, I share why the last planner system cannot succeed without the first planner system. I explain how planning in preconstruction provides the logistical support, supply chain readiness, and production design that allows field teams to make reliable commitments. I also discuss misconceptions in the lean community where some experts downplay early planning, and why this approach creates disrespect and overburden. By walking through the relationship between first planner and last planner, I highlight how both must work together to create a true lean system. Whether you are new to lean construction or a seasoned practitioner, this episode will help you see why predictive planning and collaborative planning are not opposites but partners in building successful projects.
