“…Several works concerned lean management. Although this is a philosophy derived from production engineering, its principles can help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of ongoing projects (Heigermoser et al, 2019), especially if they are integrated with other approaches, such as agile methodologies (Sohi et al, 2016;Rivera, and Kashiwagi, 2016) or Six Sigma (Tenera, and Pinto, 2014).…”

The purpose of this article was to identify current development directions and potential research gaps in project management. Design/methodology/approach: The method of systematic review of articles published in the Elsevier-Science Direct database in the years 2000-2019 was used, where the search phrase was "project management" and the type of articles was "research articles". In order to answer the research questions posed, an additional method of analysis and criticism of the literature was used. Findings: The following conclusions were drawn from the analysis of the articles: a) almost a third of them concerned the practical application of PM issues in one clearly defined sector of the economy, with the most common reference being to the building sector and IS/IT, b) most articles were created in English-speaking countries (47%), c) the largest number of articles concerned the area of human resource (HR) management, including many subjects of qualifications and leadership, d) of the ten areas of knowledge specified in PMBoK, "HR" and "scheduling/time" were the most popular, followed by risk-related issues. Practical implications: The findings of this article would contribute to building a strong and coherent theory and identify best practices in project management. Originality/value: The most important achievement is the recognition of two areas of knowledge-lean management and game theory-where little research has been done so far, and whose solutions and methods could be successfully implemented inside PM.

“…Thanks to the a-priori BIM-LPS interaction matrix filter and the rigorous focalization of this review procedure, most of such comprise BIM-LPS co-applications in construction execution. Several authors developed so-called "Lean IT-tools" which support one or many aspects of the LPS and provide a link to BIM models [22,23,49,55,84,86,89]. However, none of them supports the Last Planner ® System to its full extent, since the tools either support only collaborative phase planning [55], even neglect the collaborative aspects such as hand-offs discussion among last planners [22,23,49] or systematic task-breakdown [84,86,90] as stipulated in the current LPS process benchmark [91].…”

The Last Planner® System and Building Information Modeling in Construction Execution: From an Integrative Review to a Conceptual Model for Integration

Many researchers have stated that lean and building information modeling (BIM) have positive synergies. This integrative literature review aims at exploring this body of knowledge within the scope of combinations of BIM and the Last Planner® System, as an important Lean construction method, in the phase of construction execution. The research motivation is to find out whether a comprehensive understanding of how to take advantage of these synergies exists. Eventually, the question arises of how to condense this understanding—if existing—into a robust conceptual model for integration. As a theoretical backbone, we will make use of the original BIM-Lean interaction matrix. The hypothesis is that new BIM functionalities have been evolved since the first formulation of this interaction matrix almost 10 years ago. These new BIM functionalities cause new interactions with existing lean principles. We will focus on interactions that refer directly or indirectly to production planning and control and use them to find the most relevant literature for this review. Within the content analysis, as a part of this review, we focus on existing conceptual models and frameworks for integration of BIM and the Last Planner® System and reveal their shortcomings. Eventually, we will propose a new conceptual model.

“…Carvajal-Arango et al (2019) summerized the relationships and synergies between the philosophies of lean and sustainable constructions, and to determine how the lean construction practices contribute to each dimension of sustainability (i.e., environmental, economic, social) during the construction phase of a project. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) was combined with Lean principles to improve efficiency of construction projects (Heigermoser et al, 2019). A construction management tool linked LPS with the 3D visualization to improve productivity and reduce construction waste.…”

The wastes in construction projects such as wastes in materials, time, resources and achieving customer needs can be minimized using the new philosophy of Lean Construction (LC). This paper proposed a two-level model based on fuzzy logic technique for evaluating Causes of Wastes (CWs) and lean implementation in construction projects. The probability of occurrence and importance of CWs were two input parameters in level 01 of the model, whereas the output was the level of waste. On the other hand, level 02 of the model depended on using three input parameters which were: level of waste, controllability level for CWs and lean implementation level, while the output was the lean effect. Several linguistic variables and logical rules were used for relating inputs and outputs and new indices were introduced. The model was applied and validated for data collected in two countries: Egypt and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Results demonstrated that the expected lean effect is found with a positive correlation with various levels of wastes and can be improved by increasing controllability and lean implementation levels. Regarding the comparative study between the two countries, distinct disparities in lean effect were clarified. Most measured CWs indices were different in both countries while indices values in KSA were higher than in Egypt either in waste, controllability or implementation levels. The results presented an optimum arrangement to reach an effective new lean evaluation model that could be implemented for moving the traditional construction towards LC. Finally, the model can be applied easily in most countries to help decision makers in evaluating CWs and lean implementation in their construction projects.
