1 Managing Takt Plans using vplanner 1

2 Overall Process Analysis (OPA) Showing the Step by Step Process in Each Room OPA - Capture Special Conditions Special Condition 2 Special Condition 1 Pipe installed before corner wall is install in adjacent rooms Floor in adjacent rooms must be done before painting. 2

3 Shortest Time Takt Planning Rules: At most 2 Crews & find an arrangement that minimizes gaps, # crews, wait time, starts and stops & keeps crews continuous 3

4 Work on a Copy of the Template Template Working Copy Starting from the End, Connect Crew Flow for the First Sequence Resource (Crew) Flow Floor 5 (in this example kept in main flow) Left Room 13 and MP for backlog 4

5 Arrange using Time-Based Swimlane Notice that vplanner assumes Pull even if there are no milestones yet Step 4: Do the same on the front end ALAP Continuous A good way to start is link the first and last crews. 5

6 Samir Emdanat Rearrange the plan (this gives you an idea how to arrange the tasks in between) Continue to Add Resource Constraints Working from the End Here, the last 3 crews are resource linked This Gap is automatically calculated by vplanner based on special conditions & Pull 6

7 Samir Emdanat Step 6: Continue to Add Resource Logic from the back Work one or two crews at a time and observe flow Work from both ends but keep the tasks ALAP (notice the buffer) User Buffer to Space the Work Streams to maintain Flow 7

8 Shortest Duration Plan Changed to ASAP Use Buffer to Space the Work Streams to maintain Flow Resolve Maximum of Two Crews Issues 8

9 Resolve Maximum of Two Crews Issues Use Backlog tasks to keep 2 crew flow when there is opportunity 9

10 Use Backlog tasks to keep 2 crew flow when there is opportunity Final Solution 10

11 Two Solutions of Same Total Duration (Arranged By Space) Two Solutions of Same Total Duration (Arranged By Company) 11

12 Comparing Plans Based on Resource Flow (Arranged by Company then Space) Getting Ready Production Control Convert Activities to Production Activities Assign Calendar 12

13 Production Activities in vplanner Production Activities are special activities in vplanner designed specifically for Takt Planning. The they are calculated first during the backward pass (they are more important than other activities). They provide a more stable forecast dates when calculating the forward pass. If constraint impact production activities a red dot will be displayed on the production activity and the constraints will be prioritized to meet production dates.
