Lean Construction Management

More Than a Method:
Experience Lean

lcmd is the only fully integrated solution on the market for Lean Construction planning and execution.

With lcmd, Lean becomes a lived practice across your entire organization — from strategic planning to day-to-day control on the jobsite. Everything in one tool. Simple to use.

Digital Last Planner System® - Reliability & Collaboration

The LPS® is the core of the Lean approach. lcmd makes it easy to apply—even for teams new to Lean—by lowering adoption barriers. Digital tools enable knowledge sharing and scalable implementation.

  • Weekly Work Planning (WWP)
  • Constraint & Commitment Tracking
  • Daily Huddles & Collaborative Boards

Takt Planning

- Stability in Project Flow

Takt planning structures construction projects into recurring time and process intervals. Clear Takts create consistent workflows, reduce disruptions, and ensure a stable production flow across all trades—transparent, adaptable, and fully executable in lcmd.

  • Takt zones, sequences, and dependencies
  • 1-Click Takt creation
  • Automatic conflict and dependency checks

Pull Planning
- Starting with the Goal in Mind

Pull planning consistently aligns the project schedule with the target completion date. lcmd makes dependencies and handoffs digitally visible, verifiable, and adjustable at any time— enabling realistic commitments, clear interfaces, and a reliable, jointly owned plan.

  • Digital pull planning in real time
  • Automatic transparency of dependencies and milestones

Visual Management
- Transparency at a Glance

Lean Construction thrives on transparency. Visual management makes project status, progress, and obstacles instantly visible to everyone — without lengthy meetings or manual reports.

  • Dashboards & analytics for continuous improvement
  • Visual boards for clear status overviews
  • Real-time KPIs (e.g., Plan Percent Complete)

lcmd is the only lean software solution capable of automatically creating clock plans and suggesting optimizations. It integrates perfectly into existing structures and facilitates the transition from conventional schedule management to lean ways of thinking and working.
