Diagnóstico da viabilidade econômica, gestão de suprimentos e estratégia como propiciadores da produtividade na indústria da construção civil

Abstract

Studies related to the construction industry sector characterize it as a segment of complex economic and structural nature. Investments, demand for inputs, and labor is highlighted in the country’s economy. The organization of the construction industry is subject to pressure from the competitive market, customers, and other stakeholders. This research seeks to understand the relationships that permeate economic engineering, supply management, and strategy. From the engineer’s perspective, civil engineering is a factor that promotes productivity in the construction industry. The research was carried out through a survey and analyzed data based on descriptive statistics, statistical inference, calculation of reliability index, and Spearman correlation. The results showed economic engineering construct has a predominance of correlations with a moderate to weak trend. Supply management and strategy construct present a moderate correlation pattern. However, in the constructs combinations, when associated with economic engineering, there is a weak degree of correlation, followed secondarily by a reasonable degree. Combining supply management and strategy presents a moderate degree of correlation as predominant, followed by a weak degree correlation. Association of economic engineering with supply management construct or strategy leads to attention to financial resources, following the guidelines of the organization’s strategy. When combined, economic engineering, supply management, and strategy constructs provide company performance. The performance of companies creates continuity, and business sustainability improves results in the civil construction sector.
