AB  - This paper examines the escalating challenges in the implementation of Lean Construction (LC) concerning project delivery within temporal and financial limitations. It suggests an operational framework that incorporates Advanced Work Packaging (AWP), Value Stream Mapping (VSM), and the Last Planner System (LPS) to improve project performance. The study reveals constraints in the execution of LPS, notwithstanding its extensive utilization as a lean construction approach. The study examines the synergistic integration of VSM and AWP with LPS to rectify these deficiencies through an extensive literature review. The proposed framework seeks to augment collaboration among project stakeholders, enhance visualization of project workflows, and enable more efficient risk assessment and analysis. This research aims to furnish contractors with a systematic method for incorporating lean tools to enhance project outcomes, reduce waste, and elevate overall efficiency across various phases of construction projects. The study concludes by highlighting the necessity for empirical validation of the framework to evaluate its practicality and efficacy.
