Discover Takt Planning,
Steering, & Control
A Positive, Free, and Helpful source of truth for Takt, Lean, and Production Planning in Construction.
Takt Planning, Steering, & Control will take over as the main scheduling system in construction. This site is dedicated to maintaining standards that will keep the system pure, reliable and focused on supporting people.
Introducing the Takt Production System®
A revolutionary scheduling method that brings rhythm, continuity and consistency to construction projects. Our system is meticulously designed to optimize workflow, stabilize projects and absorb interruptions, variations and delays. With Takt at its core, our approach ensures efficient and streamlined operations, empowering teams to achieve maximum productivity and success.
The takt production system®
is a scheduling system that maps flow through rhythm, continuity, and consistency on a time beat, or takt, through zones with time on the top and location (the value receiving unit) on the left.
It pairs with last
planner®
to involve the trade foremen and creates the backbone of your production systems and the alignment of all project resources.
It's made on one page
Showing all three types of flow in construction. the system allows you to level work and create buffers so you can absorb interruptions, variation & delays.
The system stabilizes
the project so you can
optimize it.
Takt is the central
theme of all lean scheduling systems
in construction.
