Off-site Construction Company Lean Maturity Assessment Using DOLC
The Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) industry have to reduce material consumption and eliminate waste.Regarding this, Lean Construction (LC) has emerged as an efficient tool.The company LC maturity level must be measured to evaluate its effectiveness and then to improve its implementation.Therefore, this paper aims to assess the lean maturity of an off-site light gauge steel frame construction company.The maturity model applied was Degree of Lean Construction (DOLC) for this case study, because this model is better fitted for the Brazilian AECO industry scenario.After that, the results were compared with related publications.The analyzis showed 65% maturity for the current case study, characterizing it as Level C of maturity in lean construction, higher than another's publications.The results indicate that the company have a better LC maturity than other ones found in publications due to the synergy between the off-site construction and Lean principles, even without intentional LC adoption.
