Traditional planning, Location-Based Management System and Last Planner System: an integrated model

Abstract

The traditional planning model adopted by most companies is rooted in CPM (Critical Path Method). However, due to the limitations of CPM, several companies use auxiliary tools to address the needs of production teams, leading to uncertainty about the work to be done, activities to be prioritized and uncertainties about the proper use of resources. The aim of this study was to develop an integrated model to fill the gaps of traditional planning (CPM), connecting it to the elements of the planning systems called LBMS (Location-Based Management System) and LPS (Last Planner System). An exploratory case study was carried out to develop the model, which was based on CPM, and the related concepts of PMI (Project Management Institute), and on the planning systems LBMS and LPS. One of its characteristics is the integration of the three planning systems into the following phases: start, planning, execution and closeout. The model could compensate for the limitations of the planning and control systems that use tools in a fragmented way, as it promotes complementarity and synergy between them.
