ADOÇÃO DO POWER BI PARA ACOMPANHAMENTO E CONTROLE DOS INDICADORES DE QUALIDADE UTILIZADOS NA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL

Abstract

This article presents a case study on the implementation of Microsoft Power BI as a quality management tool in the construction industry, explaining step by step the use of the software and demonstrating its efficiency as a facilitating tool in data analysis through dashboards to monitor activities such as internal plastering and ceramic wall cladding applied in a project located in the municipality of Goiânia, Goiás. The mentioned services were carried out between December 2023 and September 2024, in forty housing units of a multifamily residential building under construction. The methodology included the collection of data on the activities carried out through service verification sheets (SVS), used by the project management company to ensure the quality of the final product to be delivered, which were tabulated and analyzed in Power BI. The results were obtained through the combination of the analysis of the developed dashboards and the specific information gathered from the project. For the development of the four interfaces of the proposals in the dashboards, a sequence of preliminary steps necessary for the organization of the studied raw data was carried out. First, inspection of the activity, verifying on-site the result of the executed service and filling out the SVS according to the established criteria. In the next stage, the database was created using Excel for use in the Power BI software, and then the interface was structured with charts and filters for segmenting the analyzed information. In this way, two dashboards were created to assist in monitoring quality standards, identifying both broadly and specifically the critical points observed in the execution of internal plastering and ceramic coating services of the project, thus enabling the conclusions and decision-making of the managers to be carried out assertively, optimizing organizational performance.
