Melhoria do processo de compras de suprimentos de uma empresa da construção civil e a implantação de um sistema de informação para gerenciamento

Abstract

Nowadays, companies are becoming increasingly dynamic and agile to survive in a highly competitive market. Access to information at all levels of organizational management is a basic condition for the full operation of any business, regardless of sector. Thus, the Information Technology (IT) is each day becoming an increasingly essential tool to create, process, store and transfer information, allowing the most diverse organizations greater control of the business and greater safety in the process of making decisions. The procurement sector in construction companies fulfills an extremely important task in this field of activity, as the building materials represent a significant portion of the value of the works. For this reason, there is a growing quest for quality improvement in this sector, through the use of effective computer information systems, promoting the reduction of costs and the efficiency increase of this process. This work presents the analysis and development of an information system for the purchasing department of a construction company, based on a real case study.
