Pull Planning, in simplest terms, is a technique that is used as part of the Last PlannerÂ® System to develop a coordinated plan for one phase of a project. However, with practice, Pull Planning should become much more. The purpose of pull planning is to design a project-based production system in conformance with lean principles. Like all aspects of Last Planner, it is a collaborative approach that includes those who are directly responsible for supervising the work on the project. People mistake merely scheduling a phase of work from the end working backwards for the intent of pull planning.
