A razão unitária de produção como mensuradora de produtividade na execução de revestimento de argamassa em vedações verticais internas no município de Juru - PB

Abstract

The Construction Industry is responsible for millions of jobs in Brazil, as in every industry, the search for the increase and verification of employee’s productivity is present and extremely important. Not knowing the team's productivity for each service developed by it leads to several problems. This is the case for contractors in the town of Juru, in the in the state of Paraíba, where it is not common to measure productivity as it is not common to hire their own work teams. The author followed two works in the city, both in the mortar coating phase of the internal walls. Therefore, the present work had as general objective to obtain the productivity index, Unitary Production Ratio (UPR), of the service of internal coating of walls with mortar, performed by the workforce in the town of Juru. The methodology consists in a bibliographical research, a survey carried out with the masons of the town that helps to describe the reality of the local construction and a multiple case study carried out with two teams from two different works, where productivity was measured in the execution of mortar coating on walls. As a result, a potential UPR for mortar coating of 0.44 MH/m² was obtained for the analyzed masons, a better index than that obtained in SINAPI (0.54) and TCPO (0.57). Confirming the importance cited by Souza (2006) that civil construction companies should obtain their own productivity indices, because there is great variability in the market.
