Análise de um processo de kitificação de materiais em canteiro de obras

Abstract

The construction industry has historically been characterized by traditional execution methods. In this context, Lean Construction has consolidated itself as a strategic approach focused on reducing waste, increasing efficiency, and improving the quality of buildings, based on principles of optimization and innovation. Aligned with these concepts, the material kitification process was developed as a tool for grouping the items required for each service, organized by housing unit. Accordingly, this study presents a case study conducted on a vertical construction project, analyzing the role and importance of material kitification, as well as qualitatively clarifying the challenges and benefits of implementing the process across different services. It was observed that the construction sector still shows a slow adoption of innovations, requiring methods to be adapted to the reality of each project and professional training to be strengthened. Despite the challenges, kitification demonstrated potential to optimize material delivery times, reduce waste, and enhance the sustainability of construction processes. It was concluded that, when well planned and adapted, this practice significantly contributes to the efficiency of construction sites, although its application demands continuous adjustments according to the specificities of each service.
