Abstract
Since Lean Construction has been introduced as a new management approach to improve productivity in the construction industry, much research is in progress to develop lean concepts and principles for better implementation and to get results of the successful adaptation of lean ideas from manufacturing for application in the construction industry. Currently, Lean Construction Institute developed Last Planner System to achieve better workflow and effective planning management. Domestic construction companies are also getting interested in the Lean Construction. However, there are no detailed guidelines how to implement lean system. Thus, this study will provide a guideline for deployment of last planner system, a prototype lean implementation control checklist, and all project participants roles based on the case studies in USA. This study should provide a framework to apply lean construction to domestic construction sites.
