THE CHALLENGE
Work was regularly starting without full readiness. Access, information and prerequisite issues were discovered late, causing stoppages and resequencing.

​

WHAT WE DID

• Introduced Lean lookahead planning focused on makeready, not dates

• Used digital visual management to make constraints visible

• Mentored teams to test readiness before committing

​

WHAT IMPROVED

• Constraints surfaced weeks earlier instead of during execution

• Fewer aborted starts and last minute changes

• Improved confidence in lookahead plans

• More open discussion of “not ready” work

​

THE OUTCOME

Teams moved from reacting to problems to anticipating them, improving stability and trust in planning.
