RESUMO

The objective of this research work is to present a critical analysis about the way of management of labor productivity applied in the execution of metallic structure projects, specifically in the execution activity of drawings by design departments of structures manufacturing companies, defining indicators for the evaluation of that productivity, which consider the literary concepts, the surveyed data and the important factors diagnosed by the field research. The revision of bibliography involves the concepts related with projects, its administration as a productive system, its objectives, competitive strategies and critical factors of success. It still presents the productivity concepts under technological and social-economic focus, as well as its evaluation and indicators. The research is classified as exploratory, its approach is qualitative and the methodology used is the multiple case study involving four companies. Data gathering was accomplished through interview, using a semi-structured questionnaire as a route. The conclusion of this work, restricted to the methodology limitations, considers that the studied companies choose the critical factor of success in function of its strategic objectives, and consequent competitive strategy. The productivity indicator adopted monitors the principal critical factor of success: necessary hours to the execution of the drawings. It is used to accompany the activity performance and acts as a starting point for the detection of problems and correction actions. However, that action is fragile and very empirical, depending on the manager’s experience and perception, because the indicator used doesn t allow to trace and monitor other factors hierarchically below the critical factor of success, but even so they affect them. Some of those complemental factors are: the employees professional experience, resources of updated CAD, the employees updating with these resources and amplification and use of drawings libraries. A partial indicator of the labour resource and operational indicators are presented and indicated for this work.
