Lean scheduling in construction: better and easier with KYP Project
Lean construction schedule strengthens both collaboration and involvement in a project. KYP Project makes it easy to go digital with your lean schedule, so you can stay up to date on progress online at all times!
24/7 overview, anywhere you go
Digital lean schedule in KYP not only lets you monitor task progress on site, but anywhere you go. This ensures that all those involved in the project know exactly which tasks need to be carried out when, preventing a waste of both time and materials.
Up to date schedule at all times
Thanks to KYP digital lean schedule software, you can make changes to the schedule quickly and easily at any time. No more Post-It’s all over the place, but only a few mouse clicks to update the schedule and share the newest version with everyone online!
Lean collaboration at its best
Everyone always has access to the most recent and correct version of the schedule. This way, everyone knows what’s what and all parties involved are aware of all upcoming activities. Nice and lean.
Lean schedule from site manager to project partner
What usually happens is that your schedule is printed out by the project partners and taken with them to the site.
But when a change is made to the schedule, those project partners will still be using the old schedule. With a bit of luck and alertness, you may suddenly realise – and inform on time – that one of your project partners doesn’t need to be on site until a day later. This kind of situation causes not only stress, but crossed wires and, just as important, can be very costly!
KYP Project simplifies the entire process. No more sending around a file with the schedule. Instead, you invite your project partners to use KYP Project – free of charge – so that everyone can see all tasks in the online schedule.
This is particularly useful when a change is made! Better yet, your project partners can indicate that they’ve completed their task in KYP. This gives you an immediate overview of any possible delays and lets you plan an inspection. Not surprisingly, builders who work with KYP Project state that KYP gives them peace of mind.
How do you go about lean scheduling in KYP Project?
Lean construction scheduling can be done in several ways on a wall. One of the most common approaches is lean scheduling per cluster on a line. Different colours for the different parties involved makes it easy to see which party is present at the site on which day. Lean scheduling in KYP Project is a bit different, but just as transparent. The cluster is also referred to as a phase in KYP Project. This is where the responsibilities of each party are outlined. In other words, instead of a horizontal schedule, there is a vertical lean schedule for all parties involved. And it’s available online or via the app 24/7.
“Everyone immediately sees the changes made to a schedule, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to inform someone.”
