Applications of the last planner system
Abstract
Lean is one of the industrial tools that allow companies to change their thinking by involvement of all and by waste reduction. Well known in the manufacturing sector, this approach tends to spread to shipbuilding. In addition to the basic tools of Lean Manufacturing, a new tool, namely the LPS, was developed. This is a system of planning and production control in which the last scheduler is the one that does the job at a given stage because this person is better placed to communicate the work and execute it. This tool is based on several planning levels with different backgrounds. This article aims to explain what the LPS is and to compare this tool to those traditionally used in project management.
