Aplicación de la filosofía Lean Construction para la mejora de la productividad en un proyecto de construcción.

Abstract

In order to improve productivity and efficiency in the construction sector, this thesis examines the use of lean construction, with a particular emphasis on minimizing waste and optimizing value for the customer. The Just-In-Time (JIT) methodology, collaborative planning, and the Last Planner System are some of the tools used to optimize workflow, cut down on superfluous inventory, and reduce process time. Furthermore, the significance of process standardization, Kaizen, and Lean culture are emphasized. Process mapping and visual management are also discussed as crucial tools. Professionals in the construction industry were interviewed as part of the study in order to pinpoint industry best practices and obstacles. Important project participants also took part in focus groups. Ultimately, a number of on-site scenarios were examined in order to perform a quantitative evaluation of cost variations. The advantages of lean construction, which include increased efficiency, productivity, and cost savings, are also covered, establishing it as a key tactic for the shift towards a more competitive and sustainable construction model.
