“…Recently, LPS has often been applied together with the so-called Takt-Time Planning approach [29,30] referred to as a work structuring method. Takt-Time Planning and LPS can be seen as complementary in different aspects, since Takt-Time Planning can essentially expand LPS's formal mechanism of commitment management with more standardized work batches and, thus, contribute to continuous flow [30].…”

A Lean Approach for Real-Time Planning and Monitoring in Engineer-to-Order Construction Projects

Engineer-to-order (ETO) construction companies are characterized by an off-site and on-site production. Often, budget deviations for installation works on-site are identified in a late stage when improvement actions cannot be applied anymore. Consequently, installation tasks are often affected by significant delays and/or reworks. This work proposes a "real-time" capable approach for planning and monitoring in construction and a corresponding information technology (IT) framework. The core is represented by the so-called "pitching" concept known from lean management, which breaks down large job orders into smaller controllable parts. It can be considered as the main enabler for gathering management information in real-time and to identify problems and their causes on time. The most noticeable consequence lies in smaller jobs and a software-aided punctual control that allows a better rescheduling capability and, thus reduced, delays. A case study is provided, showing how the model was applied and validated in an ETO façade supplier company.

“…These human costs might go unnoticed due to successful clinical outcomes, especially if these occur most of the time (Smaggus, 2019). The undesired technical outcomes correspond to the use of more resources than necessary for obtaining the outcomes, to unwanted outcomes or to the non-production of these outcomes at all (Bølviken et al, 2014). This type of technical outcome can be exemplified by the making-do waste, which occurs when a task starts without meeting all its preconditions or the task is continued even though at least one precondition is unavailable (Koskela, 2004).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this conceptual paper is to develop a model of the hypothesized relationships between investments and outcomes of resilient health care (RHC).Design/methodology/approachBased on the extant literature, the aforementioned model is described along with proxy measures of its composing variables and a matrix for assessing the cost-effectiveness of RHC instantiations. Additional possible relationships are set out in two propositions for theory testing.FindingsThe model conveys that RHC gives rise to both desired and undesired outcomes. Investments moderate the relationships between RHC and its outcomes. Both investments and outcomes can be broadly categorized as either human or technical. Moreover, the propositions refer to what type and how much investment is necessary to perform in a resilient manner, what are the intended or desired outcomes of RHC, for how long and who is affected by these outcomes.Originality/valueThe cost-effectiveness perspective of RHC is new and the proposed model opens opportunities for empirical and theoretical research.

“…Recently, LPS has been applied with the so-called Takt Planning (TP) approach which is referred to as a work structuring method (Bolviken et al, 2017;Frandson et al, 2014).According to Frandson et al (2014) LPS and TP are mutually supportive. TP could expand the mechanism of commitment management of the LPS by means of standardized work batches striving to continuous work flow (Frandson et al, 2014).…”

“…TP could expand the mechanism of commitment management of the LPS by means of standardized work batches striving to continuous work flow (Frandson et al, 2014). By aiming at disruption-free handovers between trades, TP would methodologically represent a 100 % PPC approach in the LPS perspective (Bolviken et al, 2017).The formal methodology of TP consists of a clocked scheduling where so-called "time-harmonized" work sequences are used to coordinate activities. Therefore, construction projects are structured into "Takt zones" where repeatable and non-repeatable construction elements are defined previous to execution (Altner, 2016).The rhythm of the construction progress is defined by the "Takt time" principle known from lean management (Altner, 2016).…”

The research project »COCkPiT« -Collaborative Construction Process Managementaims at developing methodologies and tools to enhance time and budget control in construction projects, with a focus on small and medium-sized companies. The hypothesis is that the interplay of the three main phases of project management -planning, scheduling, and monitoring -can be improved by collecting highly detailed information early on in each phase, and making it available to the other phases at a high frequency. COCkPiT builds upon previous experiences in façade installation, where significant time and cost savings have been obtained by applying a normalized workload approach based on a collaborative process planning routine, an approach which is currently hardly supported by commercial project management tools. Thus, the objective of COCkPiT is to develop a methodology that supports i) collaborative process modelling as a basis for ii) a short-term rolling wave planning considering iii) real-time measurement of the progress on-site, to create highly reliable schedules and accurate forecasts. The focus of this paper is to present the conceptual fundamentals of integrating the modules of modelling, scheduling and monitoring, as well as involving the lean construction community to current considerations regarding the implementation in a self-containing IT-solution.
