Background
Implenia, Norway, was on the lookout for a cloud-based solution which supports constraints management and is built on the Last Planner System. A unified platform, which effectively maps constraints during the lookahead planning process, resolves them in time, and has a dedicated make-ready process was an ideal solution. VisiLean as a construction management solution helped them in mapping potential hindrances and reviewing them before the execution of tasks. As a result, it significantly improved their onsite work plan for overall programme and plan efficiency.
Challenges
- Lack of visualisation of complex challenges across projects
- Addressing real-time changes in production plans was difficult and time-consuming
- Limited performance review capabilities hindering continuous improvement
Solution
VisiLean provided a comprehensive lean construction management platform:
Single Collaborative Platform — Delivered a unified platform for the entire supply chain, enabling all stakeholders to plan and coordinate on one system.
Hands-On Training — VisiLean's support team provided hands-on training to project planners, trade contractors, site managers, and site engineers for effective platform adoption.
Standardised Processes — A uniform process that is simple to adapt was implemented across diverse projects, ensuring consistency and scalability.
Outcomes & Impact
- 19 hours saved per week in planning across the project portfolio
- Better transparency and improved coordination between trade contractors and planners across the project
- Improved collaboration between on-site teams and head office with live progress updates from VisiLean's mobile app, LiveSite
Key Learnings
- Cloud-based lean construction tools must support constraints management built on the Last Planner System
- Standardised processes that are simple to adapt enable scalability across diverse projects
- Hands-on training across all project roles is essential for successful platform adoption
