Construction 5.0: Examining the Challenges and Solutions Related to the Successful Implementation of the CTS with the LPS Technique of the SAAL SC in Iran Construction Projects

Abstract

The critical conditions of Iran’s economy, especially in the construction industry, have caused this industry to move towards death or with a transformation towards greater productivity and participation. In this regard, two main approaches should be followed: new technologies and new management thinking. Industry 5.0 can facilitate this with a human-centred view of Industry 4.0. Among these Industry 4.0 tools is the control tower system, which recent scientific studies have shown to be synergistic and capable of working with the SAAL supply chain. SAAL strategy is the first strategy that was invented to exploit a chaotic environment. Positive results of their use in construction projects have been reported. However, every new approach has risks, especially since such a merger can have many risks. This study presents the results of a research project in a typical contracting company in which the control tower system was implemented with the help of LPS tools. In this research, the research topic is described, the action plan is formulated and implemented and the results are evaluated and corrected if necessary. The research results show that in successfully implementing this approach, new tools are needed to improve planning and control. Also, professionals and working people are very resistant to change. In addition, the results of the surveys show that before implementing this type of system, it is better to provide training and awareness for mental preparation. This training should be supported by resources that construction teams can use full-time. Of course, some limitations of these tools led people to think these methods slow down their daily work instead of improving it.
