Aplicação do sistema ERP SIENGE na gestão de orçamentos e custos em obras da construção civil

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the contributions and challenges related to the application of ERP systems in the management of budgets and costs in the construction industry, with a focus on the implementation and use of the Sienge system. The research has an exploratory and descriptive nature, aiming to present the concepts, functionalities, and practices related to the use of the system, as well as the processes of cost and budget control. The structuring of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is considered a relevant element for budget organization within the Sienge system, as it defines the hierarchy of construction activities and enables the grouping of budget items by cost center, stage, and sub-stage, thereby supporting control and traceability of information. Based on the analysis of the operation of the budgeting module and the cost allocation process, it was possible to identify that the proper use of the system contributes to greater organization, clarity, and reliability of the data. In addition, the reorganization of the WBS resulted in a higher level of detail in budget information, particularly regarding indirect costs, allowing for improved visualization and monitoring of expenses throughout the execution of the project.
