PROPOSTA PARA REDUÇÃO DOS RESÍDUOS NA FASE DE ACABAMENTO DE UMA OBRA BASEADO NA CONSTRUÇÃO ENXUTA

Abstract

The concepts related to Lean Construction and sustainability are evident in the civil building industry, since they are based on methods that seek to reduce the environmental impact and lack of efficiency production. In addition, the Lean philosophy must be applied at all building stages. However, in the finishing phase, there is a tendency to neglect these principles. Since this constructive stage generates a large volume of waste, the article aims to propose improvements, based on Lean Construction, to reduce the volume of waste generated in the finishing phase of a residential enterprise, collaborating for sustainable development. Furthermore, an analysis of the company's records, direct observations and interviews with the members of the enterprise was made. Then, it was observed a lack of organization, constant changing of the site construction and intense resources flow contributed to the materials waste. The action plan selected considerate proposals that did not require high financial investment. Finally, it was concluded that it is possible to reduce the wastes in the field adopting simple proposals; however, the incorporation of a new methodology takes time to be absorbed by the staff, so it is necessary to well-defined action plan to develop improvements.
