BCM is well versed in The Last Planner System. Of which is a collaborative planning process that involves trade foremen or design team leaders (the last planners) in planning in greater and greater detail as the time for the work to be done gets closer. It is a simple process that allows your team to create and maintain reliable work flow on construction projects.
