Too often we see GCs that claim to be using the Last Planner System to plan a project only to discover a lack of commitment and knowledge of the system. Project after project the trade partners are left without milestones, no constraint management, and no review of PPC or variance so we can improve every week. These are all of the strengths of utilizing LPS but when a GC is not implementing the entire system, the jobsite suffers and trade partners are forced to fend for themselves. This presentation will highlight our experience with a majority of GCs that fall short when using LPS and how that impacts the trade partners on a jobsite.
