LAST PLANNER SYSTEM - LPS is about both process and behaviors. While the basic steps of LPS are simple, It takes time and concious practice to change old thinking and habits.
Over the years we have make hundreds of improvements in the process, tools, and training. We know what works and what doesn’t.
We work with leadership, project management, and trade partners to put in place a simple, consistent, and sustainable approach to LPS based solidly on Lean thinking.
We can also train your staff in planning and scheduling, building construction plans and developing and managing project schedule.
Milestone Lean Consulting has developed tools and training materials that make LPS simple and effective.
CREATING, MANAGING, AND SUSTAINING A LEAN ORGANIZATION
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
VALUE STREAM MANAGEMENT
We help you to keep it simple and effective. Many clients have previously tried to “become lean” but have not seen the results they hoped for. But, they know Lean is the way to go. What is the problem?
You need two basic things:
1. Develop People who apply Lean thinking to their daily work
2. Provide a System (or process) to support them
First, people need a clear understanding of lean thinking and methods. Second, processes and value streams are based on lean principles. Finally, apply organizational discpline to see it through.
That is how Milestone Lean Consulting can help. We work with your unique needs to see the gap between where you are now and where you can be, and then develop a plan and step-by-step execute it to get to “cruising altitude” building the internal capacity to sustain the change.
