Abstract

Pull planning is a key element within the Last Planner System (LPS) that promotes collaborative planning in construction projects due to its benefits, such as fostering collaborative planning. This article aims to identify the benefits, barriers, and good practices associated with implementing Pull Planning. The research began with an exhaustive literature review, analysing 124 studies, following the scoping review criteria. Subsequently, a list of good practices, benefits, and barriers was prepared and organized according to their frequency of appearance in the literature. This analysis allowed us to identify nine good practices for implementing Pull Planning, 11 benefits highlighting its positive impact on the construction industry, and 10 barriers limiting its effective adoption. The results of this research offer practical guidance for professionals who wish to optimize the implementation of pull planning, and researchers interested in delving deeper into this approach.

Keywords
