This paper explores the integration of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and Lean methodologies, offering practical solutions to optimize the maintenance operations of an engineering laboratory. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify common challenges in facility management and assess existing methods and technologies to address these issues. This research introduces the concepts of VDC and Lean within maintenance management, proposing an Integrated Facility Management System (IFMS) that applies these frameworks to the operations and maintenance (O&M) processes. The IFMS aims to harmonize the facility's physical structure, organizational dynamics, and procedural workflows, providing a practical roadmap for facility managers and maintenance professionals. Implemented in an engineering laboratory in Lima, Peru, the IFMS has significantly improved maintenance efficiency. The results include a fivefold reduction in the average time required for corrective maintenance and a 50% decrease in the incidence of such maintenance tasks. Finally, applying VDC and Lean principles to the maintenance phase can yield substantial operational benefits, as evidenced by the data from the implemented IFMS.

The mining project is located in the Huancavelica region of Peru and is currently in the underground exploration phase through diamond drilling drillholes. The geology team uses diamond drilling samples to estimate the total mineral reserves of the mine, and they have projected 13,278 meters to be drilled. The VDC framework proposal’s application allowed a better understanding of diamond drilling processes to support the variability source reduction related to equipment, maintenance and operational tasks. The results showed a time optimization in the diamond drilling operation of 10%.

Through a systematic approach, it seeks to identify how these tools contribute to the success of projects, improving efficiency, collaboration and sustainability in the construction industry. The research uses a methodology based on data collection through surveys and review of case studies. This will allow obtaining a comprehensive view of the main challenges and benefits associated with the implementation of VDC and Lean Construction (LC) in the Peruvian context. It was identified that the benefits associated with the integration of VDC and LC are consistent with the existing literature, validating its ability to generate value, reduce waste and facilitate collaborative decision making. In addition, the role of Lean tools, such as the Last Planner System, in the consolidation of planning and control strategies was highlighted. This work contributes to reinforce the practical knowledge on the application of VDC in construction projects in Peru, providing professionals in the industry with insights into best practices, challenges, and strategies to optimize implementation.

Focusing on burnout, professional self-efficacy, and life satisfaction, the research explores how these factors influence job performance, with organizational commitment as a mediation variable. Female executives face distinctive challenges, including gender-related barriers and the pressure of managing multiple roles, which can hinder their productivity and career progression. Employing a quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional design, data were collected from a representative sample of peruvian female executives using validated instruments: the Burnout Unique Item (IUB), Professional Self- Efficacy Questionnaire (IWPQ), and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to analyse the mediating effects of organizational commitment on psychological factors and job performance. The findings emphasize the importance of organizational policies fostering supportive environments that address mental health concerns, improve well-being, and enhance job performance. This study offers valuable insights for stakeholders in the financial sector, where demands for productivity and leadership performance are particularly high. The results contribute to the broader understanding of workplace dynamics, providing practical recommendations for creating equitable and supportive workspaces.
