Investigation of wastes due improvisation in construction sites

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The making-do stands out because it represents a potential to generate other losses, such as security reduction, quality problems, productivity and rework. The main objective of the research is to analyze and investigate the losses by making-do, related to the management of the production of three companies of Goiânia, for the purpose of identifying the categories of loss and their possible impacts. The research is classified as quantitative and qualitative, also as applied and exploratory. Based on this, data were analyzed during the technical visits in each work, among which stands out the non-participant direct observation, the application of questionnaire and the documentary analysis. In addition, photographic records of the productive activities with the occurrence of losses were carried out, in addition to the analysis of the organization of the construction site of the projects in study. The results of this study indicated that most improvisations are related to short-term planning, logistics and projects. However, the most important impacts of these types of losses are the need for rework and loss of material. As a result, the importance of the study of the losses related to the making-do stands out, since it generates other types of losses, and goes beyond the waste of materials, evidencing issues related to the health and safety of the workforce and impacts in the process of Production as a whole.
