Aplicação do sistema Kanban na produção de divisórias de gesso acartonado

Abstract

Related to high levels of waste and low productivity, the construction industry has been heavily criticized. Evolving production and construction management processes has been considered essential for companies that want to qualify to meet the current increasingly competitive market. In this context, companies are identified that are already adopting lean production system tools in their processes. In this research, Kanban is presented, a multidisciplinary production management model, derived from the Toyota Production System that prioritizes the reduction of the flow of activities that do not add value to the final product, seeking to eliminate waste and optimize the process. Due to the pandemic situation in the country, the work was developed from an extensive literature review, with theoretical monitoring of the application of the process of plasterboard partitions in a construction site. The moment of the pandemic made this case study take place virtually. The research results show the need for changes in the production processes for the production of plasterboard partitions in order to reduce the amount of debris produced, optimize production time and generate savings in transport and storage. The results show the effectiveness of the Kanban tool in civil construction
