Management Projects Model to Reduce Lead Time of Base Station Telecom Construction in SME Based on Lean Focus and Agility

Abstract

Sustainable growth in the telecommunications sector has led to many small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) becoming involved in projects that are often not time and cost effective owing to the lack of a project management model that meets the needs of this type of company. In this article, a project management model is proposed based on the continuous improvement of processes under the lean and agility approach, and a medium enterprise from the sector is considered as a case study. A 50% reduction in the lead time of projects was observed, reprocessing and overtime were eliminated by 70%, while quality was ensured and the probability of project success increased. Thus, the application of this model solves the problem under study.
