Kanai, Júlia (2025) Systematic management model based on lean construction through a mobile app for industrialized buildings in the frame system. PhD thesis, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil.
Abstract
Industrialized construction, such as light steel frame and wood frame, are construction techniques with a high prefabrication capacity. These techniques offer several advantages, including shorter construction time, reduced waste, sustainability, increased productivity, ease of assembly, reusability, and recyclability. The objective of this research is to propose a unique and original mobile application model for assembling buildings using light steel frame and wood frame. The application has a simple interface with a step-by-step guide for Lean Construction management. Management approaches using value stream mapping, kaizen, 5S, kanban, and just-in-time will be presented. The results will be presented based on a simulation of three real projects and how each Lean Construction tool could be used. The research concluded, through a questionnaire with a construction supervisor, that the implementation of the application proved to be an assertive model for Lean practices in light steel frame and wood frame construction.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
