Integration of Last Planner System(LPS) and Primavera for Lean Construction Management in Residential Building Projects

This study examined the integration of the Last Planner System with Primavera P6 for lean construction management in residential building projects. The research identified major limitations of conventional project management practices and developed an integrated framework that combines lean planning principles with advanced scheduling techniques. The implementation of the LPS–Primavera integrated framework improved planning reliability, workflow continuity, stakeholder coordination, and project monitoring. The use of look-ahead planning, weekly work planning, and continuous performance monitoring significantly reduced workflow interruptions and improved schedule performance. The comparative analysis demonstrated that the integrated approach enhances project productivity and supports better decision-making during construction execution. The findings indicate that integrating LPS with Primavera P6 provides an effective solution for achieving lean construction objectives and improving overall project performance in residential building projects. The developed framework can be adopted by construction  organizations  to  improve  project predictability, reduce waste, and enhance operational efficiency through collaborative planning practices.
