Princípios lean construction: gestão da produtividade nos sistemas de vedações verticais em uma empresa construtora

Abstract

Productivity is an important topic in the context of civil construction, as it is an indicator to evaluate the performance of the services being performed in a construction with the objective of verifying production efficiency. Civil construction, in the last century, was always heavily criticized for its high waste and low productivity, consequently there was a high investment in an enterprise that took a long time to complete, especially public works. The present study sought to describe and evaluate the application of Lean Construction principles in the productivity management of vertical fence systems in a construction company located in Goiânia, in addition to making a parallel with the Lean Construction philosophy and evaluating its implementation. In order to do so, the activities in which the philosophy were implemented were directly observed at the company's construction sites and the productivity numbers were evaluated in its database. The results showed satisfactory values and demonstrated how the implementation of Lean Construction has a positive impact on cost and time at the construction site.
