A aplicação dos princípios da construção enxuta em obras através do sistema de gestão da qualidade

Abstract

The civil construction greatly contributes to the development of the country. However, even though it is of great importance, studies indicate that this sector presents deficiencies in planning and lack of control of the construction execution stages, which leads to losses of labor and waste of materials. Faced with the globalized world and with increased competition, some companies seek technological alternatives and management practices to adapt to this market. Solutions such as the Quality Management System and the adoption of Lean philosophies serve as search for new management paradigms for the production process in civil construction. The present research aims to understand how the principles of lean construction are applied in construction works through the quality management system. An exploratory study was carried out through bibliographical research based on material already elaborated and published on the subject. The work demonstrated that the SGQ and Lean Construction philosophies can converge and complement each other at various stages of the production and business management process. The applicability of lean construction to works by the QMS is highly feasible, but this is a subject that deserves further study for the improvement of methods.
