Abstract:

The present article’s main objective is to describe the synergies generated from the simultaneous application of the Last Planner System (LPS) and OHSAS 18001. We explain the main principles, tools, techniques and practices of the Lean Construction philosophy and LPS that integrate and make synergy with the elaboration of Safety and Health Study, the implementation of the Safety and Health Plan, and with the OHSAS 18001. The LPS elements are correlated with the OHSAS 18001 requirements: (1) Policy; (2) Planning; (3) Implementation and Operation; (4) Checking; and (5) Management Review. The methodology used to validate the proposal is based in a review of the published literature in the last years, in which information was quoted from the Conferences of the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC), Lean Construction Journal, Lean Construction Institute, among others. This paper hopes to bring integration and collaborative work from the Production and the Safety and Health Department.ResumenEl presente artículo tiene como objetivo describir las sinergias generadas en la aplicación simultánea del Last Planner System (LPS) y la OHSAS 18001.

Abstract:

Resumo Esta pesquisa envolveu-se com a utilização da modelagem da informação da construção (BIM) de maneira integrada à lógica do sistema Last Planner no planejamento e controle da produção em empreendimentos da construção civil. Para isso, a investigação teve como objetivo principal construir um modelo integrador, de forma a atuar na melhoria do planejamento de médio e curto prazos. A abordagem metodológica de pesquisa adotada foi a Design Science Research, que prescreve o projeto e desenvolvimento de artefatos inovadores (neste trabalho, um modelo) destinados a resolver problemas práticos em um banco de dados alimentado por outro software. Dessa maneira, tornou-se possível estabelecer a relação entre cada elemento geométrico do modelo. A construção do modelo de integração passou pelo desenvolvimento de um plug-in para o software Revit, capaz de disponibilizar informações e suas necessidades de materiais, mão de obra e especificações de projeto. A avaliação do modelo foi feita por meio de um estudo empírico em obra de grande porte do setor de edificações. Como principal conclusão verificou-se a sinergia decorrente entre o modelo e o sistema Last Planner, mediante a verificação automática das restrições, do gerenciamento visual e da integração das partes envolvidas com o planejamento de médio e curto prazos, tornando-os mais eficientes.

Abstract:

Most of planners can’t avoid state combinatorial explosion which is a main problem to planning failure. To solve it, the paper brings forward the arithmetic of goal decomposition and initial decompositioin to partition the fact file for planner, thereby to reduce number of combinated states. But then, for the planners in being can’t deal with the multiple fact files, to settle which, withal, the paper introduces the arithmetic of multi-fact file management. The application for three arithmetics is on IPP possessing preferable performance. The modified planner is called MF-IPP which is able to handle multiple fact files for avoiding the combinatorial explosion. At last, we compared the performance of the two planners, and the result showed that MF-IPP can avoid the combinatorial explosion well, and the test case covering rate is meseasued by two novel rules.

Abstract:

Since 2001, a link has been established between the Last Planner® System (LPS) and Linguistic Action Perspective (LAP). However, to date, it has not been studied in sufficient depth. This research developed a system of indicators to measure and control the management of commitments, through the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, and thus contribute to the development of the social dimension of sustainability that is often neglected in construction management research. The main contributions of this paper are a proposal of five main activities to apply the DSR method, a checklist to analyze the engagement of meeting participants, a notebook for last planners, delve into the variations that can occur to the basic movements of LAP, and the creation of a system of indicators hence updating the Percent Plan Complete (PPC) with a reliability indicator. The main limitation of this research is that the system was only validated in two South American countries that implemented LPS. In future studies, we propose to apply case studies in weekly planning meetings in other industries worldwide and to determine the recommended values to improve communication and achieve the proper implementation of LAP with LPS and without LPS.

Abstract:

Saat ini sektor konstruksi mulai melakukan upaya untuk mengurangi waste sekaligus meningkatkan value dengan mengadopsi teori produksi pada industri manufaktur kepada industri konstruksi yang disebut lean construction (konstruksi ramping). Sistem pengendalian produksi (production control) dengan konsep konstruksi ramping merupakan salah satu sistem dalam perencanaan dan pengendalian jadwal pekerjaan. Komponen yang terdapat konsep konstruksi ramping tersebut adalah sistem the Last Planner (LPS). Last Planner System belum banyak digunakan dan mempunyai potensi yang baik karena merupakan bagian dari komponen lean construction dimana dalam perencanaannya semua pihak dapat terlibat secara langsung dan terkoordinasi sehingga pekerjaan yang direncanakan dapat terkontrol dengan baik dalam pelaksanaannya. Setelah melakukan analisis progress kerja harian, LPS mempunyai indikator kinerja yang digunakan untuk mengukur sejauh mana aliran pekerjaan dapat tercapai dengan baik, adapun kontrol aliran kerja Last Planner System yaitu Master Plan, Phase Planning dan Pull Planning, Lookahead Planning, Constraints Analysis, Shielding Production, Weekly Work Plan dan Percent Plan Complete (PPC) sebagai standar untuk mengontrol unit-unit produksi, menentukan jadwal proyek, strategi pelaksanaan, dan lain-lain. Pada penelitian ini, hasil rata-rata PPC adalah 73%. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian dengan metode LPS ini yaitu untuk menganalisis implementasi konsep Last Planner System yang dibandingkan dengan progress aktual dalam meningkatkan reliabilitas pekerjaan harian dan Melakukan evaluasi kinerja pekerjaan kontraktor menggunakan LPS. Metodologi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini menggunakan kurva S, data progress rencana dan aktual mingguan proyek juga dilakukan pengolahan data dengan konsep aliran kerja LPS. Untuk membuktikan bahwa perhitungan PPC yang dilakukan sesuai dengan kondisi di lokasi proyek, maka dilakukan perbandingan data dari hasil perhitungan PPC menggunakan LPS dengan progress data mingguan di lokasi proyek yang didapat dari pihak kontraktor. Dari hasil perbandingan data tersebut dapat dilihat bahwa hasil PPC mingguan tidak jauh berbeda dengan hasil data progress mingguan yang didapat dari pihak kontraktor. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa LPS dapat meningkatkan reabilitas perencanaan di atas 70% sehingga tingkat resiko terjadinya keterlambatan proyek akan semakin kecil.

Abstract:

Schedule control is one of the main tasks of engineering project management, and effective schedule management is an important means of realization of project objectives. The traditional project schedule management is lack of dynamic adjustment and update, and various drawbacks of the method have been appeared. Last planner system (LPS) is a kind of schedule management of project based TFV theory of lean thinking, which transfers the traditional "push" system into "pull" system for schedule management. Based on the master schedule, look-ahead schedule and weekly work plan, schedule management with LPS will facilitate the realization the projects schedule objective.

Abstract:

Last Planner System (LPS) is one of Lean Construction’s tools for scheduling to enhance project’s reliability, productivity, and performance. It has already been widely adopted in many developed countries and shown benefits, such as shorter duration, less rework, and better communication. Despite its benefits, the use of LPS is almost unheard of in Indonesian. The aim of this exploratory research is to investigate the readiness of LPS implementation for Indonesia’s projects. The assessment is based on five principles of LPS, i.e. Master Schedule, Pull Planning, Making Work Ready, Weekly Work Plan, and Learning, using four categories of assessment, i.e. not aware, aware, willing, and implemented. The levels of readiness are categorised into none, poor, moderate, high and excellent. Data was collected by interviews and questionnaire surveys with project managers and observations of four construction projects. The results show that on average the readiness level is moderate, particularly for Pull Planning and Look-ahead Plan. The main challenges identified include lack of confidence and resistance to change. These research findings provide an initial understanding of LPS as perceived by contractors, and later can be used as inputs to build a strategic framework to enable wider LPS adoption to improve Indonesia’s project performance.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article presents strategies for teaching scheduling methods such as takt-time, flowlines, and point-to-point precedence relations (PTPPRs) using building information modeling (BIM) models in the Last Planner System. This article is the extended version of the article entitled “Teaching Takt-Time, Flowline and Point-to-point Precedence Relations: A Peruvian Case Study,” which has been published in Procedia Engineering (Vol. 196, 2017, pages 666–673). A case study is conducted in final year students of civil engineering at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. The mock-up project is an educational building that has high repetitive processes in the structural works phase. First, traditional tools such as Excel spreadsheets and 2D drawings were used to teach production system design with takt-time, flowlines, and PTPPR. Second, 3D and 4D models with Revit 2016 and Navisworks 2016 were used to integrate the previous schedules with a BIM model and to identify its strengths and weaknesses. Finally, Vico Office was used for the automation of schedules and comparison of the methods in 4D and 5D. This article describes the lectures, workshops, and simulations employed, as well as the feedback from students and researchers. The success of the teaching strategy is reflected in the survey responses from students and the final perceptions of the construction management tools presented.

Abstract:

In construction industry, its implementation of the construction has its own constraints. A good management or project management system is needed to minimize the risk of these constraints. The latest project management concept that has proven more effective and efficient is Last Planner System method. This study aims to investigate how the implementation of Last Planner System works on Jakarta-Cikampek II Elevated Toll Road Project. With the evaluation of weekly job evaluations using PPC (Percent Plan Completed) and Pareto Variance Constraint analysis, the constraint issues of this project will be identified. Then they are followed up to find the right solution in handling the constraints. The research method is done by conducting literature study, problem formulation, followed by implementing LPS method, which is through work flow control such as phase and pull plan, lookahead plan, constrain analysis, daily huddles, PPC (Percent Plan Completed) calculation, Pareto Chart analysis with data variation of issues that have been obtained. The results show that the average PPC weekly project is 83.04% and the most influential reason that must be concerned its priority is submittals.

Abstract:

Despite the advances made in the last decade in automated planning, no planner outperforms all the others in every known benchmark domain. This observation motivates the idea of selecting different planning algorithms for different domains. Moreover, the planners' performances are affected by the structure of the search space, which depends on the encoding of the considered domain. In many domains, the performance of a planner can be improved by exploiting additional knowledge, for instance, in the form of macro-operators or entanglements. In this paper we propose ASAP, an automatic Algorithm Selection Approach for Planning that: (i) for a given domain initially learns additional knowledge, in the form of macro-operators and entanglements, which is used for creating different encodings of the given planning domain and problems, and (ii) explores the 2 dimensional space of available algorithms, defined as encodings–planners couples, and then (iii) selects the most promising algorithm for optimising either the runtimes or the quality of the solution plans.

Abstract:

Resumo O modelo tradicional de planejamento adotado por grande parte das empresas construtoras utiliza como base o método CPM (Critical Path Method). No entanto, devido às limitações deste método, muitas empresas utilizam ferramentas auxiliares para o atendimento das necessidades das equipes de produção, causando dúvidas nas equipes quanto ao trabalho a se realizar, às atividades a serem priorizadas e à melhor utilização dos recursos. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi elaborar um modelo integrado que preenchesse as lacunas do planejamento tradicional (baseado no método CPM), e que contemplasse elementos dos sistemas de planejamento LBMS (Location-Based Management System) e LPS (Last Planner System). O modelo foi desenvolvido a partir de um estudo de caso exploratório, adotando-se como base o método CPM, incorporado aos conceitos do PMI (Project Management Institute), e os sistemas de planejamento LBMS e LPS. Possui como uma das características a inclusão de processos para integração dos três sistemas nas seguintes fases dos empreendimentos: iniciação, organização e preparação, execução do trabalho e encerramento. O modelo proposto poderá compensar as limitações de sistemas de planejamento e controle da produção que utilizam ferramentas de maneira fragmentada, uma vez que promove a complementaridade e a sinergia entre eles.

Abstract:

PurposeDocumented evidence supports the improvements resulting from the use of the Last Planner System® (LPS) as a lean construction technique; however, several barriers to the implementation of the technique have been identified. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the implementation process of LPS by a project team that is transitioning from the traditional planning and control to LPS on a typical commercial project. The paper compares the adopted implementation process with that of the recommended best practices and identifies the overlaps and variances.Design/methodology/approachAn in-depth case study was conducted to accomplish the specific objectives: document the process of LPS implementation in detail; identify the overlaps and variance from the recommended practices; and investigate the causes for variance from the recommended practices. The authors used direct observations, document investigations and semi-structured interviews with key project participants to gather data. Constant comparison and content analysis were used as data analysis method for this study.FindingsThe paper identified critical barriers to the implementation process of LPS in the case study project, which are supported by existing literature and are considered typical of project teams that are new adopters and transitioning to the implementation of LPS.Research limitations/implicationsBased on a single case study, the outcomes may lack generalizability. However, similar findings of existing literature and evaluations by the project personnel substantiated the findings of the study.Originality/valueThe study attempted to conduct a systematic investigation on the implementation process of LPS, which is a less investigated topic. The paper draws attention to the major barriers experienced while adopting LPS in the case study project and suggested possible ways to address similar issues in the future. The barriers experienced by the case study project are typical of project teams who are new adopters and transitioning to the adoption of LPS, process and have the potential to be alleviated through the recommended practice implementation and process maintenance strategy.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis article examines the architecture and design of the pioneering planned fishing villages established by the British Fisheries Society across the Highlands of Scotland in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The Society established a utilitarian planning model which fundamentally influenced the subsequent planned village boom that remains so evident in the historic landscape of the Scottish Highlands today. The British Fisheries Society also made a significant contribution to urban history with Thomas Telford's innovative plan for its last development of Pulteneytown. Pulteneytown remains the most complete example of Telford's work as a town planner.

Abstract:

This study aims to identify what factors are the key to the successful implementation of the Last Planner System in construction work based on existing journals to be applied in the construction environment and determine the priority weight / key factors of success from the questionnaire results from experts with the Analytic method Hierarchy Process. The method used in this study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process to find priority weights and software uses Expert Choice. From the results of the analysis obtained Key Success Factors in construction work, namely as many as 10 criteria where stakeholder criteria with the highest priority weight with a global weight of 0.2279 which have a value of consistency ratio below 0.1 or 10%, ie 0.08 or 8%, then an evaluation of the comparison pairing between criteria is consistent and as many as 24 sub-criteria where the sub-criteria of stakeholder support for the implementation of LPS with the highest priority weighting with a global weight of 0.1812 which has a consistency ratio below 0.1 or 10% ie 0.07 or 7%, then an assessment of pairwise comparisons between sub criteria are consistent.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to increase the integrity of the planning process with the executive process by simulating the Last Planner System (LPS) technique using building information modeling. Design/methodology/approach A five-dimensional model was prepared, and after specifying the number of physical conflicts on the plans, all the scenarios of the starting points in the expert contractors’ plans were analyzed. Accordingly, the best scenario was determined by LPS technique. To assess the performance of the study, it was implemented on several tasks of a construction project. Findings The results of this research indicate that if this method is used in the planning process, the time conflicts between the expert contractors who are in the critical path are reduced, and the total delay of the scheduled time reaches zero. In addition, the conflicts between contractors whose suspension will cause no incentive and increase the daily cost overruns will reduce to the lowest point. Originality/value By simulating LPS in the planning process, time-physical conflicts are considered at the lowest point. Using this approach, conflicts are detected before the execution process, resulting in a significant reduction in the delays and cost overruns in construction projects.

Abstract:

The aim of this research was to expand the current understanding of social aspects related to the successful adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to support mechanical–electrical–plumbing (MEP) coordination and identify contributions of the Last Planner System (LPS) to tackle these aspects. The paper presents an action-research project carried out by a mechanical contractor. This study revealed that successful BIM-enabled MEP coordination depends not only on efforts to coordinate the model itself, but also on how effectively it is used during the installation phase. Social elements that influenced the effectiveness of BIM-enabled MEP coordination were classified in three categories: clarity of roles and responsibilities, individual vs. collective project leadership, and the existence of agreed-upon processes to follow. In such context, the LPS contributed to strengthening teamwork, providing a structure for increased communication and accountability, and helping the project team to focus on problem-solving. Consequently, the model was used more effectively, reducing rework and improving field productivity.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to prioritize the vital tools/techniques for the effective implementation of the last planner system (LPS) in the cross-cultural setting of a developing country, i.e. Gaza Strip. Besides, the potential benefits of implementing LPS are prioritized. Design/methodology/approach The significant techniques and likely benefits of LPS implementations were identified through comprehensive literature, followed by their verification through a pilot study. The quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire survey from 89 companies, operating in the Gaza Strip construction industry. The relative important index was calculated for prioritizing the significant tools/techniques (16) which support the effective LPS implementation, and highlighting the potential benefits (10) achieved through LPS implementation. Findings The results showed that the “use of visual devices to spread information in the construction site,” “attendance of key actors” and “look ahead plan” are the most important tools/techniques supporting LPS implementation. The top three potential benefits of implementing LPS include: “allows a better understanding of the program control,” “maximizes the co-operation and confidence among team members” and “allows the manager to better visualize the work program.” To prevent any waste in project time and to ensure the material supply and continuity of works, the study recommends advance supply and storage of demand materials, and early availability of the shop-drawings for acceptance by the superintendent. Practical implications The study’s findings are expected to guide the key construction stakeholders to prioritize their energies toward effective LPS implementation in the Gaza Strip. Originality/value Though this study pertains to Palestine, its methodology can be generalized in other countries and regions, having a similar work environment, after making necessary cultural adjustments.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify how the newly emerging UK practice of “collaborative planning” (CP) for construction project delivery aligns with the advocated principles of the global last planner system (LPS) of production planning and control. Design/methodology/approach A mixed, qualitative, exploratory approach was adopted for the study. This entailed qualitative data through three techniques, namely: semi-structured interviews, documents analysis, and structured observation. In total, 30 in-depth interviews were conducted over a 12 month period with lean construction consultants, clients, main contractors, and subcontractors drawn from the building, highways and infrastructure and rail sector. In all, 15 projects were visited where practices were observed. Findings The study reveals that the current practice of CP in the UK partially aligns with the LPS principles. Where practitioners have heard of the LPS they believe it to be the same practice as CP. Research limitations/implications This study is limited to 30 interviews, observation of 15 projects and document analysis. The aim of the study is not to generalise the findings, however, since the study examined top construction companies and practitioners in the UK and the findings were consistent across the sample, some conclusions could be made. The study is also limited to examining the construction phase only, future studies should incorporate the design phase. Practical implications A clear identification of the elements of current practice compared to the components of the LPS provides a contribution to the future practice of project production planning and management in the construction industry. Social implications The study highlights a continuing resistance to collaboration within the industry. This resistance is subtly embedded within implemented practices even though they are based on collaborative working for their success. Originality/value This is among the first studies in the UK that comprehensively examines and reports the application of LPS/CP practice in construction across the major construction sectors. Future studies could build on the findings from this work to develop an approach/methodology to improve the current practice.

Abstract:

Route planning in a multi-agent system (MAS) is still a complex task, especially if there is need for a continuous, decentralized planner of the routes for physical agents in a dynamic environment. It is a planner of this kind that is required in the application the article considers: the transportation of parts at a modular manufacturing line. Such a planner has to meet several difficult requirements, regarding the physical, time-constrained dynamic environment, live-locks and deadlocks, delayed agents, and last needs to minimize the travel time and the total distance traveled. The article proposes an approach using a delegate multi-agent system (D-MAS) in order to meet these requirements. The approach was verified using virtual reality so as to provide a better understanding of the planner’s issues. Several coordination rules were proposed and implemented. As a further verification, the proof-of-concept solution was compared to a non-reservation planner. It was shown, that as the number of agents increases, the approach, including the reservations, outperformed its competitor. Various recommendations for the implementation of the planner were formulated. It was concluded that the performance of the planner is sufficient for its future use. The main objective of article was proof-of-concept and determining the functionality of a prototype based on MAS that was in compliance with a modular manufacturing line developed by us.

Abstract:

This study examines the learning processes of the adoption of the Last Planner System (LPS) and mechanisms of learning indicating the successes and failures of their establishment in three organisations. The organisations under study are a public building agency, an engineering office, and a construction company. One practice-based methodology by Engeström and Sannino of organisational learning based on the theory of expansive learning was applied in the analysis. The ethnographic research data included the observation of LPS adoption processes and the interviews of the participants. This study links the epistemic learning actions of the theory of expansive learning to the adoption process of LPS. It also reveals the mechanisms that indicate the success or failure of the adoption process. A successful adoption process seems to require strong ownership, enough time, resources, and opportunities for learning together in practical project work, and the combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches.
