Within lean manufacturing applications, its contextualization in construction processes is found as lean construction. This approach aims to reduce non-value-adding activities by optimizing processes to maximize efficiency. Thus, the objective of this research was to propose a procedure for adopting the lean construction methodology to contribute to the optimization of building projects. A mixed-method study was conducted with a cross-sectional, descriptive focus based on the case study: construction of a recreational theme park for terminally ill children. A procedure structured in six steps was designed, allowing the adoption of the lean philosophy in project management and the design of a tool to assess the project team's competencies in integrated management systems. The results enabled the definition, design, and delivery of project assets with the highest possible value generation, where lean methodology principles were applied. Likewise, the integrated project systems, stemming from incorporating lean methodology principles, optimized project productivity in building construction.

The patient flow, referring to the movement of patients through a healthcare institution, is essential for resource optimization, performance enhancement, and satisfaction level elevation within hospitals. The diagnosis of this flow is pivotal as it allows the identification of primary management inefficiencies. This research introduces a methodology structured in five stages for diagnosing patient trajectory management, integrating strategic and operational perspectives. After its implementation in a General Surgery service of a second-level hospital, its applicability was validated. The key deficiencies detected were grouped into essential variables for patient flow management. This methodology offers a holistic approach for healthcare administrators to evaluate the patient's journey within the hospital setting comprehensively.

The study focused on the management control of sustainability related to transportation in historic centers, given its influence on the social development of these areas. The primary purpose was to establish a system of indicators to monitor transportation sustainability in such centers. Techniques such as literature review, surveys, direct observation, expert consultations, and brainstorming were employed to achieve this. Various thematic models were analyzed, supported by software tools such as Microsoft Office Excel 2010, Microsoft Office Visio 2010, and EndNote X7. As a result of this research, twenty indicators were identified, meticulously described, and categorized under three sustainability perspectives: social, economic, and environmental. These indicators, derived from strategic objectives, are essential to assess the effects of transportation in historic centers and to facilitate prompt interventions that mitigate negative impacts, thereby improving the quality of life and urban sustainability
