Managing Promises With the Last Planner System: Closing in on Uninterrupted Flow

Managing Promises With the Last Planner System: Closing in on Uninterrupted Flow

The Last Planner System has been in use for about 10 years. During that time the basic structure of the system is unchanged. However, the practices for using the LPS have continued to evolve. In our paper Linguistic Action: Contributing to the Theory of Lean Construction we showed how the structure and usual practices of the LPS creates the situation for making promises reliably. In a following paper Leadership and Project Management: Time for a Change from Fayol to Flores we introduced our understanding of management and the actions needed to change to support operating a project as a network of commitments.

In this paper we build on the language-action perspective to propose a key set of distinctions and set of practices for delivering promises on a reliable basis; we call that managing promises. The combination of promising reliably and managing promises creates a basis for designing production systems that are robust to the remaining breakdowns in the project setting bringing us closer to the lean thinking ideal of uninterrupted flow.
