Desenvolvimento e avaliação de um aplicativo para aprimorar o PCP em canteiros de obras

um instrumento orientado pela abordagem lean

Abstract

In recent years, the construction industry has shown changes in its managerial conjuncture, so that new techniques management, planning, and innovations technological gained strength. Nowadays, identify new philosophies being included in support of PPC (Planning and Production Control), such as Lean Construction, and especially tools of technological characters, as software for planning and design, modeling and interactive applications for monitoring works. Knowing it, this work aimed to develop a mobile application to aid PPC and to attend with Lean Construction principles. The research approach was qualitative, adopting Design Science Research as a strategy. Even so, a survey was carried out with construction professionals to analyze their perception of the feasibility of these applications in construction management. As a result, a final application, here called Smart Obra, were developed, considering it, in its basic functionalities, production control and construction information management. Finally, a comparative analysis with the principles of lean construction showed that the use of technology meets the 11 principles and, from of future applications, may become a tool to support the management of the construction.
