First International Forum on Takt Production in Construction
WHEN: 18-19 May 2022
WHERE: Virtual on berkeley.zoom.us
P2SL is pleased to announce the First International Forum on Takt Production in Construction, that will be hosted online on Wednesday and Thursday, 18-19 May 2022, from 7:00-12:00 PST (California time), 17:00-22:00 EEST (Finland time). This forum is organized by UC Berkeley’s Project Production System Laboratory (P2SL) in collaboration with Aalto University and Vison Oy in Finland.
Thank you Sponsors & Event Partner!
With industry case examples and discussion sessions, the Forum’s aim is to disseminate takt production knowledge, spur new ideas, foster discussion, and increase collaboration between takt experts and enthusiasts from countries around the world.
The Forum’s sessions are arranged around four themes, each covering presentations from world-class takt experts and followed by break-out group- and plenary discussions.
Agenda Outline
Day 1
Theme 1: Strategic Takt Planning and Using Takt in Design
To reap the full benefits of a takted production system, takt planning must be done both at the strategic- and at the operational level (including work structuring in phase planning) according to principles of the Last Planner® System. Strategic takt planning connects production design decisions to the client and project-level goals during the master planning phase, to benefit from innovations such as prefabrication and modularization. Simultaneously, integrating the design process into early planning is critical for successful strategic takt planning.
Theme 2: Takt Plan Development and Supply Chain Integration
There are many approaches to successfully develop a takt plan. Understanding the specifics of different methods — and their similarities and differences — can greatly aid the practitioners’ capability to successfully implement takt into their production systems. Moreover, the takt plan should not be formed in a vacuum, but in collaboration with the whole supply chain, to allow successful implementation and mutual benefits for all parties involved.
Day 2
Theme 3: Takt Control including Daily Takt Plan Management and Change Management
Even though planning is necessary to set a direction for production, it is also inevitable that uncertain things can (or, more likely, will) happen during execution. Thus, takt control is necessary to successfully steer production, based on intensive daily management and management of change.
Theme 4: Future of Takt Production in Construction
In this last session, we will have an outlook on future directions of takt research and development, including digital takt production, and explore how these may shape our production systems in the upcoming years.
