Estudo comparativo de sistemas de gestão integrados ERPS e métodos tradicionais na aplicação da metodologia Lean Construction em um projeto de construção civil.

Abstract

The civil construction sector, in general, preserves the construction management techniques of the old production model, with few, and sometimes none, forms of methodology innovation, a practice that can neglect some aspects such as productivity and quality in constructions. The Lean philosophy makes use of principles that aim to eliminate waste, whether material or human. Their application involves the development of quality control tools and techniques and, consequently, the improvement of production performance. This study sought to analyze the impact of applying the lean construction methodology in civil works, verifying the tools used Traditional project management methodologies (Six Sigma, PDCA Cycle, 5S, Five "Whys" and 5W2H) and Integrated Management or ERPs (Software Agilean™, Plataforma Sienge™ and Software Prevision™) – for managing works in terms of their effectiveness and compliance with the eleven principles of Lean Construction. After carrying out the studies, it was possible to establish comparative parameters between the different techniques and platforms, and their effectiveness in applying the methodology, in addition to punctuating the specifics of each one. In this way, it was noticeable that the use of ERPs and other technologies, contributes positively to the exercise of management from the stages of conception and development, passing, especially, through the execution phase, until the completion of a project. Significant disparities were observed between the functionalities presented by the different software and platforms, and the relatively low compliance with the principles of Lean Construction of some may not be easily circumvented without the necessary knowledge. Even so, the results were satisfactory for presenting considerable values of compliance with the Koskela Principles and the possibility of achieving efficiency in the practice of continuous improvement of civil construction management processes by the simple combined use of project management technologies with the knowledge of classic management methodologies, something that has been implemented for some time in Brazil.
