O ensino de linha de balanço e variabilidade através de um jogo didático

Abstract

Based on an educational game created for the teaching of productivity measurements in a construction site, was developed a tool for teaching the Line of Balance within a production variability environment. The game initially was consisted of one ground floor building, now it is composed of ten ground floor buildings or one ten store building with basement, house machine and roof covering. The exercise consists in a collage of card pieces that symbolizes the several work stages like: structure, masonry, roof coverings, plumbing and electrical installations, doors and windows, putting lifeguard trays, floors and finals finishes. The production variability environment is obtained throughout dices drawing that will indicate the number of pieces that can to be glued in each round. First, the professionals play without any previous planning. The Line of Balance works as graphic model reproducing the group production. After, the dices and observations obtained in first exercise are used to do the planning of a new building. An example is showed where groups of construction professional’s carry out a simulation of the ten store building in about four hours and where each group had different variability in their dices.
