What is the primary goal of applying Lean principles to project planning?

To increase the number of work packages

To eliminate waste and improve flow

To speed up the project schedule at any cost

To reduce the number of project team members

A project is nearing mechanical completion. The startup team wants to use the CSU activity model to plan commissioning activities. What is the first step they should take?

Assign commissioning personnel to each construction work package.

Develop a system breakdown structure (SBS) that defines the systems and subsystems for startup.

Create a detailed schedule of all commissioning tests.

Conduct a pre-commissioning safety review.

During detailed engineering of a chemical plant, the AWP lead notices that construction work packages are being created without input from the commissioning team. What is the most appropriate action to align with AWP's lifecycle application?

Ask the commissioning team to review the work packages after construction begins.

Proceed with the current packages and address startup requirements during the commissioning phase.

Create separate startup work packages that are independent of the construction packages.

Include commissioning representatives in the work packaging reviews to ensure startup requirements are considered.

During the development of installation work packages (IWPs), the team is deciding on the level of detail to include. Which approach best aligns with AWP principles?

Keep the IWP at a high level and let the crew determine the details in the field.

Include as much detail as possible to avoid any ambiguity in the field.

Match the IWP detail to the level of the construction work package (CWP).

Include only the information needed for the crew to execute the work safely and efficiently.

A project using the Last Planner System has a low Percent Plan Complete (PPC) because of frequent material shortages. The team is considering several actions. Which action is most likely to improve workflow reliability?

Remove material-dependent tasks from the weekly work plan.

Assign a dedicated expeditor to each work package.

Add a constraint-removal step in the lookahead planning process specifically for materials.

Increase the frequency of weekly work planning meetings.
