AB  - The construction industry has shown limited advances in innovation and productivity compared to other sectors, despite its global economic relevance. In response to this scenario, companies have adopted practices such as Lean Construction (LC) and tools such as the Last Planner System® (LPS), designed to improve planning and performance in projects. However, the adoption of the LPS is limited by partial implementation that limits the capacity of the system. This research arises as an initiative to develop a structured method that allows a systemic implementation of all the components of the LPS, supported by the Maturity Model (MM) of the LCI lean IPD focused on LPS and Kaizen events to strengthen the adoption of all the components of the LPS. The case study of development during 43 weeks in the construction of the structural shell of the new FIIS-UNI building. During the application of the proposed method, the eight components of the LPS were developed from the development of 43 Kaizen events during the application of the proposed method. This article documents the experience of applying the proposed method and presents a sequential guide of steps to replicate the experience in another construction project.
