SUBCONTRACTOR COLLABORATION AND BREAKDOWNS IN PRODUCTION: THE EFFECTS OF VARIED LPS IMPLEMENTATION
International Group For Lean Construction - 21
The benefits of Last Planner System® (LPS) implementation on a whole project are well established in literature and research about Lean Construction. Throughout the construction industry LPS has been adapted to meet owner needs; industry requirements and individualized to Construction Management specialties. However, the impacts of varying LPS structures, interpretations or deviations implemented by the Owner/ General Contractor/Construction Manager have shown diverse effects on the upstream and downstream flow of construction operations and production specifically relating to subcontractors trades. Thus leading to decreased schedule reliability and ineffective constraint analysis. There is often ignored behavioral aspects and sub trade level of engagement to consider during the implementation of LPS. Data collected through surveys, interviews, and direct observations will be collected and analyzed in this paper to present specialty trades exposure and perceptions of Owner/ General Contractor/ Construction Manager adapted LPS and the potential benefits, perceived failures, and identification of common variations that cause reduced sub trade collaboration or benefits. The collected data and research will feature adapted LPS projects which implemented LPS allowing analysis of the diversity and similarities of the systems and their effect on construction projects. In addition this paper will analyze the positives/negatives of the differences and propose tools, processes, and behaviors that can be utilized to mitigate key concerns and failure points from the perspective of the subcontractor trades
