For approximately five years, the Last Planner System ® has been used more and more in Spain, due to the improvement that its use produces in the productivity of the construction, reaching, with its use, better results in the achievement of the objectives of: Cost, time and quality of the projects. But still it is necessary its knowledge and diffusion so the application of this System will be normal in all our works. It was Professors Glenn Ballard and Greg Howell of the University of Berkeley in California, United States, who in the early 90s of the last Century investigated a form of planning of the work that, within the Lean Construction philosophy, were more appropriate with the special characteristics of the construction process. Lean Construction contributes with numerous associate techniques to improve the constructive process, and one of them is Last Planner System ®. In this paper we will do a quick revision of the state of art related with Planification Methodologies which have been used in construction during last and present centuries, to conclude that Last Planner System ® represents a considerable improvement in relation with previous Systems. It is an opinion and reveal paper to promote the knowledge and use of this System in Spanish Construction with greatest interest.
