AB  - The Last Planner System (LPS) is considered one of the most established lean-based construction planning methods due to its ability to stabilise construction production and to increase plan reliability. Several technologies have been proposed to support the implementation of the LPS such as simulation modelling, BIM, and spreadsheets. Simulation modelling is proven to support construction project management by providing a virtual means to test decisions before real implementation. This study aims at establishing a link between the LPS and simulation modelling to support the implementation of the LPS in the construction industry. The scope of this study is focused on the Conceptual Modelling (CM) phase of simulation studies. CM encompasses the planning process of how a simulation model should be developed and how it relates back to the real system. The intended link is established by matching the elements of the LPS with simulation CM to develop an integrated LPS/CM framework. A case study of a stadium expansion project, in which the LPS was fully implemented, is presented to illustrate the applicability of the integrated framework.
