Abstract

This paper aims at proposing a new insight into the context of construction management from the Promise Theory point of view. The theory advocates decentralization and forming a network of localized components, connected to each other in a chain of promises. Such method has been examined in configuration management systems, knowledge management and virtual organizations, with reportedly successful results. There are also footprints of such pattern in agile practices, especially in SCRUM method. However, little, if any, research has applied such a pattern in lean construction methods. Promise Theory point of view helps in a better understanding of how the agents can be separated, while linked in a self-organized manner in the context of lean methods in general and the Last Planner System in particular.
