Avaliação sobre a implantação do sistema Last Planner na construção de residências de alto padrão: Estudo de Caso /

Abstract

In general, there is dissatisfaction regarding the performance of the civil construction industry, on the part of those involved, because it is a complex activity, difficult to manage and to predict, with low productivity and that generates a lot of waste. Lean Construction establishes principles that focus on reducing activities that do not add value to the product in order to increase labor productivity. Based on this philosophy, the Last Planner production planning and control system proposes to help reduce uncertainties and promote continuous improvement. The objective of this study is to evaluate the implementation of this system in high standard residential construction works of a construction company in the city of João Pessoa, PB, which found it difficult to meet the pre-established deadlines of the works. The research method used was Case Study. For data collection, interviews were conducted with the people involved. The evaluation pointed out challenges and benefits promoted by the production planning and control tools implemented in the company as of February 2021. In general, the result was positive in the first months, with a reduction in uncertainties and an increase in productivity in the first works of the implementation.
