Abstract: Abstract Since the lean thinking was introduced to construction field as lean construction, many techniques have been used to help project manager to realize the lean construction, among which the last planner system (LPS) is the most popular method. The percent plan completed (PPC) is used to measure the performance of last planner system. However, it is insufficient to evaluate the performance of the whole project only by PPC. Thus, the Earned Value Management (EVM) is applied in LPS to help evaluate the performance of different levels of plans in LPS, and the results of each level are discussed.
