Selección de los Métodos de Construcción en Proyectos: Un Problema de Conocimiento

Publication: Journal of Construction Engineering and Management
Volume 140, Issue 4

Resumen

La correcta selección de los métodos de construcción a utilizar en la ejecución de un proyecto, es un factor determinante para el desarrollo de éste y para el logro de sus requerimientos, pero muchas veces este proceso se lleva a cabo sin el cuidado que requiere, generando consecuencias negativas para el proyecto. Por ello, se considera necesario buscar enfoques distintos que permitan lograr una mayor eficacia en su realización. Para lograr lo anterior, es necesario comprender en profundidad las prácticas actuales de ejecución del proceso y los principales problemas que lo afectan. El propósito de este artículo es compartir los resultados de un estudio dirigido a conocer las principales características del proceso de selección de los métodos de construcción tal cómo se realiza actualmente en la práctica normal de las empresas constructoras. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron identificar las prácticas actuales, los problemas del proceso y la información y los conocimientos requeridos para llevar a cabo la selección de los métodos de construcción, lo que permitió generar una propuesta de un mapa del conocimiento asociado al proceso. Se concluye que el proceso de selección de los métodos de construcción es altamente intensivo en conocimiento y que éste se encuentra en poder de los profesionales de las empresas constructoras, lo que limita la disponibilidad de este conocimiento para su utilización por la organización en nuevos proyectos. La principal razón de ello es que las empresas constructoras no disponen de sistemas formales para obtener, procesar y gestionar este conocimiento.
