Abstract

This paper addresses the development and use of last planner system (LPS) implementation guidance. Lean construction (LC) as operationalised by tools including the LPS has been deployed over 25 years with documented successful outcomes. Yet, the literature also reveals widespread implementation failures, in part due to a guidance shortfall. To address this issue, guidance principles were developed, informed by longitudinal action research (AR) undertaken over 18 months investigating LPS usage on 7 sequential projects on the ongoing refurbishment of a liquified natural gas (LNG) plant in North West Australia. AR, the main research method used, combined continuous experimentation with analysis using a variety of data and evidence sources. By examining the process and outcomes of the action, explanations and further ideas are forthcoming, setting the platform for new action. The paper describes further longitudinal LPS implementation aided by the developed guidance on a £1.5 billion UK infrastructure project. The research contributes to knowledge with ongoing LPS guidance development, through testing and refinement with AR cycles. Further guidance into the use and melding of off-site manufacture and lean construction practice is also being developed and deployed. The limitations are that only LNG refurbishment and infrastructure projects have been researched to date.
开发和使用最后规划师®系统(LPS)指南
本文论述了最后计划者系统(LPS)的开发和使用实施指南。精益建设(LC)已通过包括LPS在内的工具实施了25年,并取得了成功的成果。然而,文献也揭示了广泛的实施失败,部分原因是指导不足。为了解决这个问题,制定了指导原则,并通过纵向行动研究(AR)进行了18个月的调查,调查了西北澳大利亚液化天然气(LNG)工厂正在翻新的7个连续项目的LPS使用情况。AR是使用的主要研究方法,结合了使用各种数据和证据来源的连续实验和分析。通过检查行动的过程和结果,解释和进一步的想法即将到来,为新的行动奠定基础。本文描述了在英国15亿英镑基础设施项目开发指南的帮助下,进一步纵向LPS实施。该研究通过AR周期的测试和改进,为正在进行的LPS指导开发提供了知识。对非现场制造和精益建筑实践的使用和融合的进一步指导也正在开发和部署中。局限性在于,迄今为止只研究了液化天然气翻新和基础设施项目。
