As a university professor at PUC-Campinas, I have the honor of contributing to the comprehensive education of future engineers, guiding them through Technical Areas of Civil Construction, Cost Engineering, Planning and Project Management, Entrepreneurship in Engineering, Design and Modeling of Constructions, Sanitation, Construction Industry, Intelligent Excel Spreadsheets, among others. There is no greater satisfaction than being part of the process of understanding and developing students, knowing that with each concept taught and project we guide together, they come one step closer to becoming competent and innovative professionals. This exchange of knowledge and experiences enriches all of us, creating a vibrant academic community where learning goes far beyond the classroom walls. At each stage of their growth, I feel immeasurable joy, as their success is also a testament to the value of our work.

Competitive industrialization pressures the construction sector to move activities away from the construction site, contemplating the prefabricated elements use. Companies willing to remain in the competitive market must seek new positions and developments in their production and management chains. To support the managers' decision-making about the prefabricated concrete elements production line, this article presents a computer simulation model for prefabricated pillars production line productivity scenarios creation. The data used for this model development were collected through a case study in the production line of prefabricated pillars. A simulation software modelled the production line with a dashboard that enables multiple-scenario generation. The adopted approach works with stochastic data, allowing nonprogrammer users to: manipulate and control scenarios and layout settings, analyze results through a dashboard and provide management and decision-makers with a comprehensive view of possible solutions.

The construction sector is considered one of the largest resource consumers on the planet and one of the main productive sectors of the economy. This scenario justifies the study of the flow of materials used in the construction, from the systematization of its processes, to reduce waste and improve the processes involved. This research aims to develop a simulation model of a residential building sand supply chain with the application of the delay meter and its monetary impacts on the enterprise. The impact of delays in the flow of the supply chain was analyzed and verified through a series of simulations. The application of the Lean Construction principles and the possibilities of theoretical simulation with the use of the solutions proposed by the researchers stand out. The proposed model demonstrates the impacts arising from delays in the delivery of materials, leading to the stoppage of teams and the accumulation of work. This scenario leads to the delay in the delivery of the project or the need to increase the team to achieve the productivity rates necessary to mitigate the existing delays. The model structure used in this study has potential for implementation in other construction supply chains.

The construction sector is considered one of the largest consumers of resources on the planet and one of the main productive sectors of the economy. Both current market competition increase and profit margins reduction have created a demand for the implementation of new technologies and methods in order to enhance companies’ competitiveness. In this scenario, the systematization of construction processes in order to promote studies of materials flow and the use of computational tools are justified in order to reduce waste and to provide improvements. The materials flow identification allows its equation, from simulations, in order to obtain the maximum efficiency in their processes. This study objective has been to measure the losses caused by the aluminum frame installation team idleness due to delays in materials delivery. This goal has been achieved with an aluminum frame supply chain model built with delays and monetary losses account simulation and informed. In conclusion, it has been possible to observe the materials flow delays impact caused by the delays, that corroborating the importance of its correct management and planning combined with an efficient and involved supplier chain in the processes.

RESUMO O assunto sustentabilidade vem crescendo cada vez mais, junto com a necessidade de redução de emissão de gás carbônico por todo o mundo. De modo que projetos, técnicas, e materiais que não prejudiquem o meio ambiente estão ganhando espaço nas pesquisas e nos mercados. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo principal um estudo de caso do processo produtivo e construtivo com tijolo solo-cimento, mais conhecido como tijolo ecológico, de uma HIS (Habitação de Interesse Social) na cidade de Limeira-SP. Para isso foram realizados o mapeamento do processo produtivo dos tijolos, os quais são produzidos pelo próprio mutuário na olaria da prefeitura, e o mapeamento da construção da alvenaria em obra. Foram abordados conceitos Lean, tais como: Lean Construction e Mapeamento de Fluxo de Valor (MFV). Os resultados encontrados foram satisfatórios, de modo que se propôs uma diminuição no tempo de produção dos tijolos solo-cimento em quase 50%, usando a ferramenta mapeamento de fluxo de valor. Foi possível diminuir em dois dias o tempo de construção da alvenaria de tijolo solo-cimento para uma residência de aproximadamente 50 m2, apenas introduzindo atividades em paralelo e utilizando a mão de obra de maneira mais eficiente.
