At that time it has been developed a very flexible software tool that implements the WWP Process, till now performed manually. The entry point of this process is an event that is automatically launched every week, notifying everyone involved that must be met for the weekly schedule. The environment implements a canvas and sticky’s metaphor and includes a panel which allows using a simple drag and drop process to distribute tasks during the week, assign actors and specify the location where it must be carried out. The user can visualize the state of the task at any time and each task has an associated BPM process that establishes how to be executed and marks the execution time of the task from the takt time. Once planning is closed, the site manager can launch the process associated to each task, allowing the beginning of the execution of construction processes. In the tool these activities shall include a mark on the image that represents the task, enabling visualization at any time and from any location and device. As it is shown in the Fig. 5, for the same day of the week, Monday, it has been planned different types of floor to be executed. Figure 5. Screenshot of WWP application embedded in Bonita BPM Planning phase The execution of each process starts a series of events that would notify to the responsible of the tasks what to do together with the additional information for its management. These are human tasks so to integrate the workers with the system, devices have been used to facilitate interaction, offering a friendly, usable and simple interface. Specifically we used platforms, such as, smartwatch and smartphone (Fig. 6). BPM and LSS as enablers of mass customization in construction 537
