The purpose of this study was the development of a theoretical framework integrating concepts of lean construction, sustainability and the life cycle of buildings. It was prepared using a systematic review of the literature through the Prisma method. Findings show that there is scarce scientific literature about lean construction contributions to activities related to the consumption phase of the life cycle of a building. Project and construction activities presented the highest number of lean construction contributions in the production phase. Research limitations are terms used in the search sentences and the choice of surveyed databases. The study contributes with knowledge that can be used by companies to adopt lean construction. It is also useful for researchers who can explore several research lines. The originality of this research is to view in a same table the interrelationship of concepts about lean construction, sustainability and the life cycle of buildings.

Background Supplier selection has emerged as an important activity regarding strategic purchasing with implications for the operational efficiency of both organisations and supply chains. Given the need to evaluate both qualitative and quantitative criteria for different supply alternatives, the decision-making process became more complex. Objectives In the present work, an adapted Analytic Hierarchy Process model is proposed for supplier selection, which is being validated within the context of a textile company. The multi-criteria decision support model was coded in Python and encompasses criteria, cost, quality, delivery time, sustainability, and history. Methods/Approach This model allocates weights to individual suppliers based on the diverse criteria considered. Four alternatives were considered as the chemical fabric dyeing pigment suppliers. Two different scenarios were considered to understand the influence of demand on the supplier selection problem. Results The cost is the most valued criterion in the supplier selection (0.493 for Scenario 1 and 0.426 for Scenario 2). The second most important criterion for regular demand is quality (0.224), whereas, for the increased demand scenario, delivery time (0.301) is the second most impactful criterion. Conclusions The application of the AHP for both tested scenarios resulted in a different priority, highlighting the adjustment capacity of the implemented model to different search parameterisations.

Purpose: The objective of this research was to implement new inventory management in a footwear company through the analysis of indicators obtained from inventory data collection.Design/methodology/approach: The methods of ABC analysis, demand forecasting, safety stock, reorder point and economic order quantity were applied. The items in inventory were classified by order of financial importance through ABC analysis, and the proposed indicators were analyzed to determine the moment the inventory replenishment should be carried out as well as the purchase lot size for each item. The research also analyzed the behavior of the demand and pointed out the demand forecasting method that came closest to reality.Findings: The study presents a method of implementing inventory management based on indicators derived from the application of ABC curve methods, demand forecasting, safety stock, re-fulfillment point, and economic purchased lot. It also indicates how the ABC classification of stocks can be used to check the most representative materials in stock. The study also highlights that the rejection of modifications can be surpassed by obtaining favorable results.Research limitations/implications: The inventory management applied in this work is based on indicators that resulted in two main data which were able to define the size of the purchase lot to be ordered and the amount of material needed.Practical implications: The methods of ABC analysis, demand forecasting, safety stock, reorder point and economic order quantity were applied. The items in inventory were classified by order of financial importance through ABC analysis, and the proposed indicators were analyzed to determine the moment the inventory replenishment should be carried out as well as the purchase lot size for each item. The research also analyzed the behavior of the demand and pointed out the demand forecasting method that came closest to reality.Originality/value: In this study, a method applied is presented, highlighting the importance of the methodological application for the implementation of inventory management. The study contributes to the encouragement and adoption of methodologies to improve analysis and inventory management in companies.
