Therefore, the tool which is going to be used must be adequate and capable of measuring in the best possible way the real state of the construction company against lean philosophy. This research's objective is to develop a tool to evaluate the degree of implementation of the lean construction in building companies. The LCAT (Lean Construction Assessment Tool) has been developed based on other tools previously proposed with the aim of supply the deficiencies presented by them, mainly the absence of statistical treatment and in the fidelity of the results. Using multivariate data analysis techniques, such as hierarchical group analysis, form revisions were performed, which, according to the comparative tests executed, increased their level of replication and applicability. The evaluation form was analyzed by experts, who classified the items as their importance, complexity and time of implementation. The Fuzzy Inference System was utilized in order to reduce the subjectivity and interpretation bias of the evaluator, which generated closer results between two different applicators to the same object of study. As a secondary result, the participating companies of the applications were evaluated towards the implementation of the lean construction. It was noticed that the companies, for the most part, still do not apply lean construction concepts and tools, evidences were found only of the application practices that interfaced with other areas of management, such as quality and planning. / O uso de ferramentas para a análise da implementação e uso de práticas e princípios da construção enxuta é extremamente necessário para que estas sejam bem-sucedidas e tragam os resultados esperados. Para isso, a ferramenta a ser utilizada deve ser adequada e capaz de aferir da melhor maneira possível o real estado da empresa construtora frente à filosofia enxuta. O objetivo desse trabalho é desenvolver uma ferramenta de avaliação do grau de implementação da construção enxuta em empresas construtoras. A LCAT (Lean Construction Assessment Tool) foi desenvolvida com base em outras ferramentas anteriormente propostas com o intuito de suprir as carências por elas apresentadas, principalmente no tratamento estatístico e na fidelidade dos resultados. Utilizando-se de análise multivariada de dados, foram feitas duas grandes revisões no formulário, que, de acordo com testes comparativos realizados, aumentaram seu nível de replicação e aplicabilidade. Como resultado secundário, avaliou-se as empresas participantes das aplicações frente à implementação da construção enxuta. Percebeu- se que as empresas, em sua grande maioria, ainda não aplicam conceitos e ferramentas da construção enxuta, sendo que foram encontradas evidências de aplicação apenas de práticas com interface com outras áreas de gestão, como qualidade e planejamento.

Inledning: Investeringsprocessen i kommuner är ett komplext system uppbyggt av olika åsikter och målbilder. Tidigare studier visar mycket kring just denna svårhanterliga och oförutsägbara process. Däremot finns det inte lika mycket studier angående genomförandegraden av investeringar i kommuner, och därtill inte heller kring faktorerna som ligger bakom. Genomförandegraden av investeringar i Västerås stad har under de senaste åren varit runt 60 procent, vilket de uttryckt inte är en nivå de vill bibehålla. Därav faller det sig naturligt att undersöka vad det är som påverkar genomförandegraden och hur dessa faktorer påverkar. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån Västerås stad identifiera och skapa förståelse för de faktorer som påverkar genomförandegraden i den kommunala investeringsprocessen. Metod: Uppsatsen är av kvalitativ art, med fokus på semi-strukturerade intervjuer med tolv respondenter. Respondenterna har alla en koppling till investeringsprocessen men har olika befattningar och arbetar inom olika delar.  Slutsats: De slutsatser som har dragits utifrån uppsatsen är att det både finns externa och interna faktorer som påverkar genomförandegraden av investeringar i Västerås stad. De externa faktorerna som framkommit är däremot ofta av sådan art att de inte går att påverka, då de är kopplade till juridik eller inte går att förutse. Istället menar vår slutsats att det främsta faktorerna, som dessutom har utvecklingspotential, ligger i de interna processerna, behovsanalyser, kommunikation, prioriteringar och uppföljning. / Introduction: The investment process in municipalities is a complex system built upon different opinions and goals. Previous studies present a lot about the difficulties and the unpredictableness of the process. Although, there are not as many studies about the degree of implementation in municipalities and the factors affecting it. The degree of implementation in Västerås stad has been on average 60 procent for the past few years, which they expressed is not a level they are satisfied with. Therefore, the subject for this thesis is to investigate what it is that affects the degree of implementation and how it affects it.  Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is that, from Västerås stad, identify and increase understanding for the factors that affect the degree of implementation in the municipal investment process. Method: The thesis is a qualitative study, with focus on semi-structured interviews with twelve respondents. All the respondents are involved in the investment process but from different perspectives. Conclusion: The conclusions drawn from this thesis is that there are both external and internal factors that affect the degree of implementation of investments in Västerås stad. The external factors are more difficult to influence from the organization's perspective, since they often are related to legislation or are hard to predict. The internal factors on the other hand, that have more potential of development are related to the internal processes, requirement analysis, communication, priorities and follow-ups.
