Ferramentas Lean aplicadas às empresas de construção civil classificadas no modelo LCR

Abstract

The construction industry has grown in recent decades, emerging from a period of stagnation for a moment in the heating market. As a result, the importance of quality and speed of processes has proven to be a concern in this department, because it interferes in competitiveness and profitability, resulting in increased construction adhering to quality management programs. So the Lean Construction emerges as an alternative to improve the processes within the construction site, bringing benefits by reducing waste and providing higher quality, thus underscoring the company before its competitors. This work was performed by applying, at first, the model Rapid Lean Construction (LCR) in five different companies of Pato Branco - PR, getting your ranking and identifying what tools to apply Lean Construction is suitable for each respectively. Then was chosen among the companies, one for the implementation of two tools at the same construction site. Through the physical arrangement tool, layouts were developed to guide the flow of people and materials into the construction site and determine the steps of execution. Already, using the tool visual process control, were developed checklists of materials and services, and applied these to the conference inventory and compliance within the construction processes used.
