| Summary: | Much effort has been made for improving the performance of the production planning and control process in the construction industry through the implementation of the Last Planner System of Production Control (LPS). Despite the wide dissemination of Last Planner in different countries, very few quantitative analyses have been undertaken on the impact of its implementation and on the factors that affect its effectiveness. Using an existing database, this study aims to assess the impact of the effectiveness of Last Planner based production planning and control systems on the performance of construction projects in terms of cost and time. This investigation has also analyzed the impact of a set of site management practices on the effectiveness of those planning systems. Several analyses were carried out using regression analysis techniques. In spite of some limitations on the data available, the study discusses the influence of Last Planner on project performance, and of the importance of site management best practices on the effectiveness of planning and control. |
