AB  - This article will describe how the application of lean philosophy tools in the construction of logistics warehouses can offer new perspectives on project planning, promoting clearer and more visual communication, collaboration, and decision-making processes. this article investigated the use of takt and pull planning methods for the development of an integrated management system for logistics warehouses located in different Brazilian cities. Takt planning of scheduled activities decreased waiting times, leading to a reduction of approximately 8% in the execution time of construction works. Other benefits included greater team engagement and participation in activity planning and sequencing. Two takt zones (repetitive elements) and one pull zone (non-repetitive elements) were demarcated at each construction site, which were planned using line balancing as a unifying element. This strategy facilitated visual management by the field team, ensuring that the entire planning process flowed through the actors actively involved in carrying out the work. In a questionnaire-based survey, construction teams reported great improvements in planning, work comprehension, and coordination between work fronts, as well as improvements in visual management and collaboration. The responses indicated a notable shift in how the field team approached planning and conceptualized their work and demonstrated that the incorporation of takt and pull planning concepts was essential for achieving these results.
