This paper focuses on Last Planner as one approach to implementing Lean in construction. The aim of the paper is to identify implementation barriers and to determine whether or not factors contributing to the success of Lean projects in manufacturing were present in last planner implementation projects. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research aiming at reducing the barriers experienced when implementing Last Planner and highlighting important points to be considered when using any lean method on construction sites in the future. These findings will be developed further as part of the PhD work KW - Lean manufacturing KW - lean construction KW - critical success factors KW - last planner PB - T2 - 19th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction DA - 2011/07/13 CY - Lima, Peru L1 - http://iglc.net/Papers/Details/1109/pdf L2 - http://iglc.net/Papers/Details/1109 N1 - Export Date: 28 March 2024 DB - IGLC.net DP - IGLC LA - English ER -
