The search for articles was conducted in the Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science databases. This diagnosis revealed the good management practices presented in the literature, which can be facilitating activities or good practices that reduce losses from making-do, guarantee compliance with the minimum requirements of the complete kit or the resilience of the process. The categories of knowledge gaps were structured into: Industry 4.0 and 5.0, Big Data, Multi-criteria decision making, Discrete event simulation, Resilience and Literature review. © 2025, International Group for Lean Construction.
