Planejamento e Controle de Suprimentos e Logística para Redução do Custo de Construção

Abstract

This study presents an applied approach to supply and logistics management in the construction industry, emphasizing cost rationalization, waste mitigation, and operational efficiency within construction sites. Based on a case study conducted at a construction site, recurring inefficiencies were identified due to a lack of systemic planning, including emergency purchases, material overstocking, and reliance on equipment rentals. These issues were analyzed through the theoretical frameworks of Supply Chain Management, Integrated Planning, and Lean Construction principles, highlighting the relevance of cross-sector coordination and operational predictability. The implementation of systematic, collaborative planning routines between the engineering and procurement teams resulted in a more accurate decision-making process and a synchronized distribution of materials aligned with construction fronts. The replacement of recurrent rentals with strategically planned purchases, based on the project’s physical-financial schedule, led to measurable economic benefits and greater execution stability. The restructured logistics and process integration enhanced workflow efficiency, aligning with the principles of continuous flow and waste reduction. The results demonstrate that the adoption of planning and control tools, even in medium-scale projects, can significantly enhance productivity, predictability, and competitiveness within the construction sector.
