Lean construction is a trend now more than a methodology, as one person in comments said - it is a thinking like, why do you wait for a crane, if you can take those parts and use old good planks for moving and many more... Find the bottleneck - measure it and then control it!
Firstly, Lean Construction is not a methodlogy, Lean Construction (Lean Thinking) is way of thinkig (philosophy)/Way of design a series and/or production system that will minmize waste of matrial, time, and efforts and maxmise added value.
Last Planner System (LPS) is a tool you could use to reach Lean construction outcome.

Create Radically Better Construction Schedules with ALICE Technologies
Use the power of AI to create construction schedules that reduce risk while cutting costs and build time. With ALICE, develop the ideal schedule during preconstruction -- or recover projects that are off schedule and over budget.
