STRATEGIC PROJECT SOLUTIONS, INC. ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF SPS|PM LAST PLANNER San Francisco, California, 01 September 2007 The Last Planner SystemTM provides the planning and control tools necessary to manage work on projects even when they are complex, uncertain and quick. Planning is defining what is to be done and how, control is a making it happen. A project is under control when we can do what we say we are going to do. Keeping commitments in the short term is essential if the project is to achieve its objectives. This is a very different definition of control than used in current practice. The design of the LPS makes it possible but people make the system work by how they make and keep commitments - Lean Construction Institute (LCI) Last Planner SystemTM is a trademark of Lean Construction Institute.
