Can lean thinking apply to the repair and refurbishment of properties in the registered social landlord sector?

tiveram como foco a avaliação das potencialidades da aplicação da filosofia lean na área de pesquisa e de desenvolvimento, verificação das dificuldades de implementação do lean development, proposição de desperdícios para o lean development e uma sistemática para a implementação da filosofia lean no PDP, seguindo a estrutura de projetos, respectivamente. As pesquisas citadas mencionam o uso do mapeamento do fluxo de valor como meio para identificação dos desperdícios do PDP. Porém, elas se limitam a abordá-lo teoricamente, não descrevendo nenhuma aplicação empírica, que é a contribuição da presente pesquisa.Com base no que foi exposto, deduz-se que a identificação e a mitigação de fatores de desperdício (de tempo, de atividades desnecessárias, de retrabalhos, etc.) no processo de desenvolvimento de produtos podem reduzir o lead time 1 Introdução O mercado passa por transformações que formam um novo contexto dinâmico para as organizações e, em especial, na indústria brasileira. Seus produtos têm de competir em preço e qualidade com similares estrangeiros, vindos tanto de países com elevado nível de desenvolvimento tecnológico quanto de países onde os custos de fabricação estão num patamar bem mais baixo. Isso força a empresa brasileira a assimilar e desenvolver continuamente novas tecnologias e produtos visando a redução de custos, do tempo de desenvolvimento de novos produtos, das não conformidades, da manutenção e, se possível, a ampliação de mercado.Segundo Wheelright e Clark (1992), num ambiente global, intenso e dinâmico, o desenvolvimento de novos produtos tornou-se um ponto de excelência. Empresas que conquistam mercados mais rápida e eficientemente com produtos que atendem às expectativas dos clientes e as excedem, criam uma significativa alavancagem competitiva.A abordagem científica da filosofia lean foi inicialmente divulgada nos trabalhos de Womack, Jones e Roos (1992),

“…Maintenance records are important and should be provided to designers so that the same mistakes are not repeated. The "lean thinking" approach (Kempton, 2006) could be applied for improving efficiency of repairs. Actually, "lean principles" have been widely applied for improving performance of construction processes by reducing non-value adding activities (Al-Sudairi, 2007).…”

Purpose -Offsite is one of the main innovative techniques employed in the contemporary UK construction sector. Building maintenance accounts for over 5% of the UK"s gross domestic product of which bathrooms are regarded as a critical area, with potential high risks and defects. However, the importance of its maintenance has been largely underestimated and research into this area appears to be limited. This paper aims to address this knowledge gap by investigating the maintenance performance of offsite and insitu bathrooms for student accommodation. Methodology/Approach -The paper examines 732 maintenance records over three years of 216 precast concrete modules, 84 Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) modules and 96 traditionally-built insitu bathrooms. Findings -The research found that offsite modules outperformed insitu bathrooms in terms of maintenance. GRP modules created the least maintenance problems, compared to precast modules and insitu bathrooms. The maintenance of insitu bathrooms was more complex than offsite modules, and involved more diverse problematic areas. The main causes of the problems included inappropriate design, poor build workmanship, lack of quality of component materials and improper usage by occupants. This supports a parallel study by the authors that found that the costs associated with maintenance were significantly higher for insitu bathrooms than for the equivalent offsite solutions. Research limitations/implications -The paper contributes to understanding the problems of offsite bathroom modules requiring maintenance in comparison with insitu bathrooms and their possible causes. Key aspects of offsite bathrooms including drainage, toilets, vents and sinks should be improved. Quality of component materials used for insitu bathrooms should be ensured. These improvements can only be achieved through better design for maintenance with clients" aspiration embodied. The findings should assist in design decision-making of selecting bathrooms for residential buildings. However, a balanced approach, taking into account other factors for such selection, is open for future investigation. Originality/Value -The framework of strategies developed should improve the innovative design of bathrooms manufactured offsite and help maintain them for better lifecycle performance.

“…Inefficiencies in heritage architecture interventions -conservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction -cause the conservation of heritage buildings to be costly and tend to compromise the preservation of their cultural values (Kempton, 2006). The need for new systems to manage heritage interventions is further highlighted by the fact that there is an increasing number of heritage buildings needing restoration work in cities across Europe.…”

Traditionally, in heritage architecture, each discipline works independently, generating dispersed data. Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) can provide benefits in managing heritage projects. However, the modelling task is laborious, BIM software tends to be complex, and historical databases are not synchronised with HBIM models. The aim of this research is to create an online work platform where interdisciplinary stakeholders can synchronise heritage information. Design Science Research (DSR) was the methodological approach adopted, consisting of designing an artefact and evaluating it iteratively. As a result, an innovative in-cloud system named BIMlegacy that connects the intrinsic HBIM database with heritage documentary databases was designed. BIMlegacy was used to manage a complete heritage registration project in a case study. The results were validated through a focus group with external professionals. The theoretical definition of the BIMlegacy platform structure is a contribution to knowledge as it could be used as a basis to develop new systems. BIMlegacy allows non-technical heritage stakeholders to collaborate effectively, which is a notable practical contribution.
