THE CHALLENGE

On a large data centre project:

• Planning systems were in place, but delivery remained unpredictable

• Work started without full readiness, leading to: 

  • Delays and disruption

  • Rework and inefficiency

• Teams were busy but not productive

• Management time was spent reacting instead of controlling

 

👉 The project lacked a true production system

​

KEVIN'S APPROACH

Kevin worked directly with the team to transform how the project was managed:

✔ Reframed the project as a production system
✔ Implemented the Last Planner System®
✔ Introduced make-ready and constraint removal processes
✔ Embedded daily production control routines
✔ Used digital dashboards to track performance and identify issues

​

Critically: Kevin did not just introduce tools—he mentored teams on how to use them in live delivery

​

THE IMPACT

• Stabilised workflow and reduced disruption

• Improved Planned Percent Complete (PPC) reliability

• Increased productive time through better coordination

• Reduced firefighting and reactive management

• Improved confidence in short-term planning
