Abstract/Summary

The Construction Management Department at California Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo has taken interests into the topics of Lean Construction to be a part of its curriculum. Lean Construction is a methodology in the built environment that tries to establish a leaner and more efficient work place in the industry. Within this broad spectrum of methodology, scheduling and more specifically, “push pull scheduling” is one of its many trademark applications. As the demand for more efficient projects rise, it is increasingly important for the next generation of construction students to be aware and educated with efficient skills. This experimental teaching module will dive into the material, strengths, weaknesses, results, and suggestions for faculty to be able to teach this module in their classrooms.

Key Words: Last Planner System, Push/Pull Planning, Sequencing, Scheduling, Planning
