Construção enxuta: estudo da aplicação do sistema Toyota de produção a engenharia civil em estudo de caso no município de Pereira Barreto

Abstract

This study object to understand the Lean Methodology that drasctly changed the production methods through tools originated from Toyota Production System and how they were applied to civil construction. The basis of this methodology is to eliminate waste and maintain constant improvement, however it originated in the industrial environment and did not meet the peculiarities of the construction process. Through adaptations to the singularities of civil construction, Lean Construction was obtained, which enabled the use of Lean tools in this environment. The work situates the need for the development of this system, the methods of mass production, the developed tools and the adaptations for implementation in the construction. A case study and monitoring of two buildings of a company that uses traditional processes was carried out. In the execution of Building 1, only monitoring was carried out without intervening in order to identify the traditional processes. It was pointed out what could be optimized in the execution process of Building 1 by implementing the lean method and in Building 2 and it changes were made as accepted by the management of this company.
