Last Planner and Critical Chain in Construction Management: Comparative Analysis

Abstract

This paper endeavours to compare the Last Planner System of production control and the Critical Chain production management method. This comparison is carried out in the context of construction management. The original prescription and the evolution of the practice are examined regarding both approaches, and the similarities and differences are noted. Based on these considerations, gaps in the two approaches are
\nidentified and the potential of a synthesis of them is explored.
