Descrição
Resumo:Construction projects tend to run over time and over budget, therefore a change in the industry is needed. Lean construction,with Just In Time and autonomation, is the solution supported in the literature review. The following chapters define a built to order web-based software prototype with an e-tendering system andan automated inventory manager to reduce the cost of the construction materials and to handle the on site materials in a more efficient way. Just In Time material delivery principies are implemented and this dissertation should be seen as a first step towards a fully functional material management application.
