Análise da viabilidade de aplicação do Lean Construction em obras de grande porte

Abstract

Planning management on large construction sites represents a considerable challenge in the construction industry, especially given the high level of complexity and the need for coordination between resources and teams. This case study looks at a large hotel construction project located on the coast of Paraíba and analyses the feasibility of applying Lean Construction concepts to optimize site organization and reduce deviations between theoretical planning and practical execution. Although the methodology was not officially implemented during the period analyzed, situations were identified in which its application would be pertinent. Based on the principles of eliminating waste and increasing operational efficiency, Lean Construction proposes greater integration between work teams and predictability in activities. Based on an analysis of the planning adopted and the difficulties faced during execution, this study identifies the main operational obstacles and relates them to the fundamentals of Lean, pointing out solutions based on this approach. As a proposal for improvement, the work suggests the future implementation of Lean Construction in order to minimize delays and rework, reorganize the sequence of tasks and improve alignment between teams. The hope is to achieve greater control of processes and a more efficient connection between planning and execution.
