Silva, Edson Neves da (2021) Proposal for a management system integrating the principles of lean construction with the aspects of quality, safety, environment and occupational health management, focusing on small civil construction companies. PhD thesis, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil.
Abstract
This thesis aimed to develop the proposal for a management system integrating the principles of lean construction with the aspects of quality management, safety, environment and occupational health (QHSE) to benefit the construction industry with a set of fundamental requirements for the improvement of organizational and construction processes. Innovation and novelty are presented in correlating Lean principles adapted to civil construction, to the objectives of QHSE management in a single management system, with requirements developed under the interest of serving, especially small companies in the construction industry. civil. The applied methodology, called Research Action, allowed the effective participation of small companies in the development of work, evaluating and considering the composition and choice of each requirement from the perspective of organizations with low financial and human resources. The research integrated the 11 Lean Construction (LC) principles, defined by Koskela (1992), with the main objectives of the QHSE management, resulting in 11 new integrated principles, called LC – QSMS in which the common objectives were determined, selected techniques and tools to support the integrated management system (IMS). The approved version of the SGI LC-QSMS selected 26 fundamental requirements to improve the organization's management with a scope associated with the ability to respond quickly to changes, using all human potential with high quality and low cost production, with an emphasis on reduction and elimination from any waste, generating value for the internal and external customer, protecting the environment and the safety and health of employees. The SGI LC-QSMS was theoretically considered appropriate for a small company, with little or no maturity level in relation to the management system, which wishes to improve its internal processes.

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
