Estudo de caso sobre as patologias encontradas em uma rede de supermercados

Abstract

Supermarket stores have evolved from simple sales spaces to multifunctional environments, incorporating different sectors and services over the years. This growth resulted in a greater demand for maintenance. The objective of this work is to characterize the most recurrent pathologies in supermarkets in Paraná and investigate their causes to reduce maintenance costs and prevent them in future ventures. The methodology used involved technical visits to 6 stores of a retail chain with the purpose of carrying out a visual inspection to find anomalies, which were photographed, documented, classified and displayed in graphs for analysis. The result found was that the most recurrent pathologies, which are difficult to repair and cost more, can be avoided in the project design phase, to achieve this, it is necessary to invest more resources in this phase, carrying out specific drainage and waterproofing projects, in addition to carrying out a good planning. Problems that originate in the execution phase, despite not involving só many costs, their resolution have an impact on the operation of the establishment as they often occur in places that are difficult to access, making it necessary to carry out work at night and at heights, prevention of pathology is achieved through qualified labor, training and supervision of execution. The simplest pathologies to resolve are those that arise during the maintenance phase of the building, they must be treated before the problem manifests itself, this is done through periodic inspections and preventive and corrective maintenance when necessary.
