Sinergia entre Lean e BIM: análise da implementação conjunta no processo construtivo

Abstract

The construction industry is known as an outdated sector with processes still extremely manual. One of the current solutions to mitigate this reputation is the implementation of BIM tools and the principles of the LEAN Construction philosophy. The BIM (Building information modeling) software allows the visualization of the process as a whole and also the making of fast and assertive decisions since it provides all the relevant information to all those involved in the process. LEAN Construction is based on the mitigation of all types of waste through the use of a value stream in all stages of the construction process. The implementation of both simultaneously enhances the positive results. Sacks et al. (2010) conducted a survey on the subject and presented a matrix (Appendix 1) that indicates 56 interactions between BIM and LEAN according to the intrinsic factors of the construction process of a project. This matrix was used as basis and inspiration for this article.
