A construção civil necessita de melhorias para reduzir as elevadas perdas e melhorar a produtividade por meio da aplicação de estratégias em seu sistema de produção, como a aplicação dos 11 princípios do Lean Construction. Portanto, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar e propor melhorias na aplicação dos 11 princípios do Lean Construction em um canteiro de obras por meio da aplicação de um questionário de avaliação. A metodologia utilizada consistiu em um estudo de caso em um edifício residencial em Fortaleza-CE. A coleta de dados foi por meio de entrevista mediante um questionário de avaliação proposto pelos autores e adaptado de autores prévios sobre o tema. Os resultados apontaram aplicação satisfatória de todos os princípios, com destaque para os princípios 6 (aumentar a flexibilidade de saída), 8 (foco no controle de todo processo) e 11 (fazer benchmarking), que obtiveram desempenho de 100%. Para os demais princípios que não obtiveram nota máxima, foi realizado um relatório de recomendações, com o objetivo de desenvolver o aperfeiçoamento contínuo do gerenciamento do canteiro de obras, corroborando com a filosofia Lean. Esse trabalho é relevante, pois contribui com a proposição de um instrumento de avaliação, além de promover maior disseminação da filosofia Lean.

“…Xing et al [78] used case investigations to understand whether the Chinese construction industry has fully understood how to use lean construction to maximize project value, shorten schedules, improve construction quality, and reduce waste. The research results pointed out that the interviewees in the case survey indicated that the implementation of lean construction can greatly reduce waiting time and defect rate, and can also effectively improve productivity and production quality.…”

Enterprises looking to be competitive are constantly looking for a continuous increase in productivity, quality, and level of services. With the development of the industry 4.0 concept, manufacturers are more confident about the new advantages of automation and systems integration. Lean management is a well-developed and empirically proven managerial strategy. Combining lean and industry 4.0 practices seems to be a necessary evolutionary step to further raise the level of operational excellence. This study applied the main path analysis method to explore the development trend of lean management in the academic field. First, this study adopted the Scopus database to collect relevant papers, then analyzed their overall development trajectory by using Main Path 437 software, and used the g-index and h-index to identify more influential journals. Next, this study clustered the papers with similar topics into several groups, and then used Wordle software to present the keywords of each group in a word cloud that serves as a reference for naming. Thus, the top five groups obtained are as follows: “Lean production concept and application”, “Lean Six Sigma concept and application”, “Lean system integration and application”, “Lean construction concept and application”, and “Lean healthcare concept and application”. Finally, this study provides explanations and conclusions on each group’s development trajectory, as well as research recommendations in the field of lean production. The findings can serve as guides for industry, government, and academia as they develop future lean production development strategies. This study utilized an integrated analysis approach to successfully and effectively depict the trajectory of lean production development and applications, identify future research and development directions, and generate technological forecasts.

“…Previous research has reported that the implementation of lean construction methods such as the LPS, Kanban System, Just in Time (JIT), and prefabrication have contributed to improved project performance (Xing et al, 2021). However, the industry lacks a consistent performance measurement framework to benchmark project performance across the construction industry, identify common targets and assess performance improvement due to the adoption of innovations (Murguia et al, 2022).…”

The implementation of the Last Planner System (LPS) and off-site construction has been identified as means to improve production management and, thus, increased productivity and project performance. Nevertheless, the sector lacks an evaluation system that allows clients, designers, and contractors to identify areas for continuous improvement and encourage further adoption of the LPS and off-site manufacturing. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze performance during the construction of the reinforced concrete structural frame of two similar high-rise residential projects in Lima-Peru. Both projects used the LPS. However, the first case used traditional on-site poured slabs, and the second used a mix of precast slabs and additional on-site pouring. Data was collected during the construction process and included labor data, production data, schedules, site visits, and observations. Data were analyzed to obtain cycle times, production and productivity rates, and labor density. The results show that the building using precast slabs performed 14% better in terms of time and 16% in terms of productivity compared to the traditional slab. Further research can measure performance and productivity by implementing other precast components such as shear walls, beams, and columns.
