Abstract

The race to reduce countries' carbon footprints has increased pressure to shorten the timelines of projects related to the construction of renewable energy parks. Projects of this scale require greater involvement between the representatives of the owner, who act in project management, and companies contracted to perform different scopes of the project. This study presents, through two case studies, the adoption of a model based on the Last Planner System from the perspective of the owner in onshore wind energy projects. It discusses current challenges within the management model of these projects and addresses tools and routines to be considered by companies participating in onshore wind energy construction. Among the main contributions of the research is the highlighted importance of the owner in the dissemination of lean within contracted companies, as well as the role of rituals such as control tower meetings and lookahead planning in improving communication and collaboration between sectors.

Keywords
