Description
Summary:The Lean philosophy essentially refers to the way in which processes and operations are defined. Within this new concept, we seek to increase value for the customer, reduce parcels that do not add value, simplify processes, reduce cycle time, reduce variability, increase transparency etc. In this context, the present research was developed in the civil construction realm, more specifically in companies that construct vertical buildings, located in the city of João Pessoa. This study aims to perform a diagnosis about the behavior, attitudes and management actions of constructers in relation to the application of the lean construction philosophy. In order to do that interviews were carried out in a group of five constructors, in which we tried to evaluate through forms the engineering point of view, as well as five other stakeholders’. We identified the level of maturity of companies and their managers, regarding the lean behavior in which a larger part of the constructors demonstrated the knowledge about its content, always looking for an application of the lean philosophy in its enterprises.
