O uso do relatório A3 como ferramenta de implementação da filosofia Lean na gestão de empresas do setor de construção civil

Faced with the economic scenario and the consequent crisis in the construction sector, many companies that had been losing ground in the real estate market were forced to review their business models. This also includes processes in order to overcome the crisis and consolidate in a structured way for the economic recovery of the construction sector. Faced with this challenge, construction companies began to implement the lean philosophy in a systemic and strategic way in their business and executive processes, thus increasing their production capacity and product quality. The A3 report is a very useful tool for organizations to solve problems, from analysis to proposing solutions clearly and succinctly. When properly implemented, its approach pushes the company toward a systemic view of process improvement rather than timely optimization. Thus, the implementation of this tool combined with the lean philosophy in companies in the construction sector aims at systemic improvement of organizations in order to consolidate themselves for the recovery of the sector. Key-words: A3, Construction Sector, Lean, Line of Balance, Processes.
