The 3rd Annual Last Planner System (LPS) is a production planning system designed to improve predictability while maximizing efficiency and safety. The system was developed by Glenn Ballard and Greg Howell and has grown to become one of the cornerstones of Lean Construction. Simply put, LPS is exactly what its name suggests, a system that engages last planners—the people ultimately responsible for getting the work done—in the planning and efficient execution of a project.
The Last Planner System Conference will help you gain an in-depth insight into the practical application of the Last Planner System. You will learn about the different elements related to LPS and how they can improve communication, trust, transparency and reliability. You will also learn how LPS can help you meet project deadlines and cost targets with real-life examples and hands-on tips that you can start applying the next day.
The conference is hosted over 2 days, with over 30 industry experts and 18 sessions.
