Desafios para implementação da construção enxuta no canteiro de obras: estudo de caso de um edifício residencial em Palmas – TO

Abstract

Residential buildings require control and management of resources with a high degree of optimization so that the activities are delivered on the stipulated date, with less waste of inputs and high quality. Therefore, a study on Lean Construction was conducted in order to identify the challenges for the implementation of this philosophy in the construction site of a residential building in Palmas - TO. For this, it was necessary to describe the philosophy of Lean Construction, collect data on the application of the principles of this construction philosophy and analyze the processes and results of the use of Lean Construction at the construction site. The research was qualitative, with questionnaires, interviews, and direct observation in the field. Then, practices were recommended for the implementation of the principles of Lean Construction in the execution of the building, to finally identify the challenges found for the implementation of these principles. It was verified that some employees were not engaged in following the new procedures adopted by the company, for not having seen the benefits that these practices can bring to both the employee and the construction company.
