Análise do nível de implementação dos princípios e ferramentas do Lean Construction nas empresas de construção de Curitiba

Abstract

The Civil Construction Industry has great relevance in the country’s economy, job creation and wealth in the country. The sector’s two main challenges are increasing productivity and reducing waste, as it is a complex production chain. It is observed that civil construction companies are increasingly interested in improving the efficiency of the company’s processes. Given this scenario, the present study aims to evaluate the level of application of the eleven Lean Construction principles and tools in companies in the civil construction sector in the city of Curitiba/PR, based on a survey carried out through the application of a questionnaire on the topic for the interest group. Although the principles and tools of planning and control present, on average, an intermediate level of application in the interviewed companies, the quality tools and integrated management systems showed a low level of use.
