| Abstract | |
This research has as main objective to evaluate the potencial impact of the application of Lean principles in construction supply chain. The strategy adopted in this research was the case study, being carried through three empirical studies: two preliminary studies in supply chain of pre-cast elements and industrialized mortar, and a main case study in ceramic supply chain. Another research strategy was applied: the mathematical simulation. For this simulation, four models had been elaborated. These models used indicators defined in the literature revision. Some results of this research are: (a) evaluation of the performance of the Lean tool (kanban) in many points of supply chain, (b) creation of systematic and generic models to possible to be applied in other supply chain and (c) evaluation of the potential of application of the tool in the context of the construction supply chain.
