Aplicação de ferramentas de gestão de estoque para otimização da logística de materiais em uma indústria de construção civil

Abstract

This study addresses the challenges of inventory management in a large construction company, focusing on optimizing material logistics and reducing waste. Although the company already adopts lean construction practices, opportunities for improvement were identified, mainly related to layout organization. Thus, the objective of the study was to propose improvements to increase operational efficiency and minimize costs. The methodology adopted consisted of a case study, with data collection directly at the construction site and critical analysis of internal logistics. The application of the ABC Curve confirmed that class A items, although in smaller quantities, account for most of the value and require greater care in management. Despite existing good practices, the lack of accurate records of outputs and the incomplete use of systematized controls for minimum stocks still generate emergency orders and risks of delays. The main proposals are the need for stricter control through standardized spreadsheets and the strategic reorganization of the site layout, aiming to facilitate movement and minimize waste. With these improvements, the company is expected to consolidate its operational efficiency and maintain its competitiveness in the market, avoiding rework and ensuring the availability of materials at the right time.
