Aplicação da construção enxuta em obra residencial: princípio da transparência

Abstract

Civil construction over the years has been of great importance for the development of the country. Even so, in the face of crises that impact on the increase in construction costs and with low productivity, due to outdated production and management methods, it becomes necessary to use techniques that solve such problems. As a result, some companies have already been using Lean Construction, which is a combination of lean production tools, practices and techniques, adapted to civil construction. In order to avoid losses in the production process, delivering the work at the lowest cost and in the shortest time, this philosophy is based on basic principles, one of which is to increase the transparency of the process. This principle is characterized by sharing useful information in the production process with those involved, with the aim of reducing the occurrence of errors, allowing the production system to better visualize what is happening in its stages, in order to facilitate the realization of improvements, in that the main tool is Visual Management. Associating the planning and management of works with this principle is also another way to contribute to increasing the productivity of the work, as they help in the control and improvement of processes. In this context, this work carried out a case study in a residential condominium, based on the fundamental principles of Lean Construction, focusing on the principle of transparency, together with the planning and management of works. With the objective of implementing this principle in the context of residential works, in addition to analyzing the results of its applications. Therefore, it was possible to verify, in general, that the main benefits obtained from the implementation of actions of this principle relate to greater ease in identifying failures and greater visibility, control, organization and security in the execution of tasks.
