Towards last planner system implementation in Gaza Strip, Palestine
The Gaza Strip’s construction industry in Palestine is suffering from the existence of unreliable production plans with great variability. One of the innovative solutions to avoid, eliminate or at least reduce plan variation is the adoption of last planner system (LPS). This research highlights the importance of eliminating plan variation in the production planning and control process in Gaza Strip as a key improvement in the delivery process of construction projects through the use of LPS. This research applies a survey strategy that uses two data collection methods, including questionnaire and interview. The results show that several elements of LPS already exist in Gaza Strip. Nevertheless, these elements do not follow the same approach of LPS. The main challenge is the involvement of many subcontractors. The primary variation cause is the unavailability of materials. The critical success factor is the top management support.
