Proposta de estruturação de um manual para padronização de ferramentas e processos enxutos para um canteiro de obras.

Abstract

The current scenario of construction industry consists on a high competitive environment, on which the market is increasingly demanding more quality of products and the internal clients (workers) demand better work conditions. Thereby, companies of this sector must find differentials so they can stand out from the others. Therefore, the application of the concepts of Lean Construction appears as an important alternative to minimize waste, increase efficiency and generate more value for their clients. Based on that, the research strategy used was the Design Science Research, which goal was to establish the structuralization of a manual to standardize lean tools and processes applied on construction sites and, after that, to evaluate the proposed standards’ implementation. Thereby, the methodology for the preparation of this paper consists on: characterization of the research, proposition of a manual’s structure to standardize lean tools and processes, production of the Practical Manual of Processes and Procedures of Lean Construction and conduction of lean audits after the Manual's implementation. Finally, after compiling the results, it has been observed that the established goals were accomplished, since it has been able to characterize Lean’s initial scenario in the company, to set standards for lean tools, to structure the Manual and to evaluate the performance of the buildings after standards’ implementations. Nevertheless, it was not possible to evidence and correlate the evaluation of the grades with the Manual's implementation, because of the research's limitations.
