Diretrizes para uso da matriz de Kraljic para a gestão estratégica das aquisições em empreendimentos da construção civil

Abstract

The purchasing sector still having a bureaucratic, repetitive and reactive role in Civil Construction, where negotiations with suppliers are based on factors such as price, deadline and quality (LIMA, 2011). In many construction companies, employees in the purchasing sector have little technical knowledge, perform repetitive and mechanical functions and have little participation in the organization's departments, in decision-making and in the different phases of the project. In the current financial crisis in which the country is, there are no more spaces for wasting resources, the construction companies need to rethink their work strategies and this includes the need to adapt the purchasing sector, seeking to reduce costs and innovative strategies, this can be done through the insertion of strategic management concepts. One way to improve the performance of the supply area is using planning tools that help to define the action strategy to be followed, such as the use of the Kraljic’s strategic purchasing matrix. The matrix allows the identification and mapping of strategic, critical, leverage and non-critical items, seeking to reduce the supply risks that could potentially impact the work and bring impacts on the deadlines, quality and costs of the enterprise. In this research, guidelines will be proposed, after a vast bibliographic review, to use the Kraljic’s Strategic Matrix as a purchasing planning tool for the strategic management of acquisitions in Civil Construction projects.
