Applying the Lean Construction Methodology

By José Roberto Dias França and Kuelson Rândello Dantas Maciel

The construction industry has undergone substantial changes in recent decades. The intensification of competition, the globalization of markets, the demand for more modern goods and the increase in customer requirements have led to a number of factors demanding greater efficiency from corporations. Companies have therefore realized that investing in process management and control is inevitable. Deficiencies in planning and control are among the main causes of the sector's low productivity, high losses and poor product quality. Faced with this scenario, one of the alternatives that companies have been using to remain in the market, reducing costs and meeting customer needs, is Lean construction, which strives to eliminate waste and increase productivity. In this way, the use of Lean construction is essential for the planning and execution of construction projects, since the Lean philosophy separates the activities that add value to the end product from those that don't, thus reducing costs and increasing productivity.
