Gestão logística dos suprimentos: o caso da construção civil.

Abstract

Wastage, delays in schedules, need for rework, low productivity and losses are common problems in the construction industry. The civil construction, over the years, has not given adequate attention to issues related to management and even less to logistics management. The concern of the builders was basically with the technical area, and this is necessary but not sufficient. Nowadays, competition has become fiercer, highlighting the need to reverse this situation. This study presents a contribution to the important issue of logistics management, and particularly from supply management to avoid or reduce the industry's problems. The study shows that a logistics supply management is critical to the execution of an enterprise, from procurement of materials to the hiring of services. And this administration will act making prior planning, forming partnerships with suppliers and implementing information technology to the process. This study also makes clear the need for builders abandon the fragmented view of the processes and begin to have an integrated view of all sectors of the company. In the end concrete examples found in the construction industry are discussed and it is concluded that a correct management of supplies, directly impacts the cost, time and quality of an enterprise.
