THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LEAN CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY IN THE CIVIL CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

Abstract

In the Brazilian construction sector some of the main evidences, such as low quality in the services performed, disqualified labor, lack of compatibilization of projects and, mainly, the lack of planning, results in delayed works and increased cost, putting at imminent risk the completion of the project. Thus, it became relevant the establishment of means capable of providing the reformulation of the construction sector as a way to solve such problems. With this, there is the development of the Lean Construction methodology or more precisely the Lean Construction, based on the support of the ideals imposed by the "lean thinking", conceived by the Toyotista Production System (STP). Based on this premise, this article comes to address the importance of lean construction methodology in the Construction sector, presenting as the main objective of this study the objective of demonstrating the effectiveness of Lean Construction in construction processes, demonstrating its effectiveness and the results that this methodology provides. With regard to the methodology employed, bibliographic methods and, as well as qualitative and descriptive methods, were used in the approach to the theme itself, by which it made it possible to reach the conclusion that the Lean Construction methodology has the ability to favor the development of project management of the construction sectors, because, through the results acquired, it can be seen that the Lean Construction methodology optimizes the construction service, through the reduction of costs, time and waste, which makes it feasible.
