Article Preview

Abstract:

Schedule control is one of the main tasks of engineering project management, and effective schedule management is an important means of realization of project objectives. The traditional project schedule management is lack of dynamic adjustment and update, and various drawbacks of the method have been appeared. Last planner system (LPS) is a kind of schedule management of project based TFV theory of lean thinking, which transfers the traditional "push" system into "pull" system for schedule management. Based on the master schedule, look-ahead schedule and weekly work plan, schedule management with LPS will facilitate the realization the projects schedule objective.
