Resumo

This paper assessed the maturity of Lean Construction (LC) in a Brazilian affordable housing company, focusing on two main objectives: to identify the strengths and weaknesses in adopting LC concepts and to analyse the practical implications of this diagnosis to support a performance-oriented development program. The research design included a literature review and contextual analysis to select an appropriate maturity assessment model, followed by empirical data collection and content analysis grounded in established LC theory. The results indicate the company's current level of LC maturity, with main weaknesses in product design flexibility and understanding customer requirements, as well as notable strengths in reducing process variability. These results highlight how maturity assessment can expose critical factors that influence the effectiveness of Lean practices, particularly when aligned with performance measurement perspectives. The insights derived from this analysis are expected to inform the planning and implementation of Fábrica Azul's development program, guiding strategic improvements and aligning operational practices with Lean principles. This study's originality lies in applying a maturity model in the context of Brazilian affordable housing, combined with stakeholder value considerations and a literature-based interpretation of the results. Overall, this work contributed to the field by demonstrating how maturity assessment, when integrated with performance evaluation, can serve as a powerful diagnostic and planning tool to enhance the sustainable adoption of Lean Construction.
