| Abstract: | Research Question: Can Language-Action Perspective (LAP) contribute to a more robust theory for project management? Purpose: to show how the (LAP) underpins the management of commitments in the Last Planner System (LPS). Research Design/Method: Observation of two projects in different companies, both experienced with LPS; mapping the network of commitments for medium and short term planning levels; an in-depth analysis of planning meetings, who effectively participated in decisions and how the commitments were managed. Findings: some evidence of the utility of LAP for describing and evaluating production planning and control systems Limitations: only two projects were observed and only formal meetings within those projects. Implications: Further research is required to test the robustness of these findings Value for practitioners: LAP encourages project participants to ensure mutual understanding of each commitment in the network. The study shows that this twoway communication plays a key role in getting a mutual understanding on the tasks and their constraints. When this type of communication is missing plans that do not match work force. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
