A Brazilian company specialized in the design and construction of photovoltaic plants was chosen as the research scenario. LPS was introduced to the company as a tool for production control and management, providing stability to the production system. This article explores the application of LPS in design management, highlighting the complexity of the construction design process and proposing the integration of LPS principles into design management. Pull planning was incorporated into design management to establish a reliable flow in the iterative work performed by designers. The pull planning process is described in detail, including the creation of process flows, document analysis, board assembly, milestone definition, task segmentation of process flows, and weekly schedule structuring. Challenges were identified during the practical application of the tool, leading to the conclusion that there is room for improvement. In summary, this study demonstrates the potential of LPS and pull planning in improving the management of infrastructure projects, with a specific emphasis on documentation and design management in photovoltaic projects.
