Morning Session

To achieve maximum production on our construction sites, the Last Planner® System plays a vital role in supporting the team effort in working toward planned accomplishments. Implementing LPS enables our project teams by increasing reliable predictability, understanding the network of commitments and demonstrating accountability as we move along a planned path. As well as aiding us in determining course corrections when obstacles (variation) are encountered. LPS Workshop  is designed to build upon those skills introduced in Unit 4 of the ‘CM Lean’ certification curriculum developed by the AGC. As well as provide Continuing Education credit toward maintaining your CM Lean Certification. Additionally, whether or not you are CM Lean certified this course may prove beneficial to you & your project teams if you are looking to achieve the following:
