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!

Hi Shareef,

Last Planner System (LPS) is a tool you could use to reach Lean construction outcome.
