Aumento da continuidade em cadeia produtiva de unidade injetora de combustível para motores movidos a diesel de empresa do ramo da manufatura de componentes mecânicos

Abstract

This paper has described the solution of problems found in a company manufacturer of mechanical components from Curitiba City. The productive chain of fuel injector for diesel systems of this company has presented deficiency in its processes continuity. On the other hand, there was the necessity of increasing the agility of reaction regarding to the productive line before customers orders variation. It has also intended to obtain a reduction of stocks localized between steps of the production line and its respective values of immobilized material. In order of that, has been applied tools of Lean Manufacture Philosophy. Concretely has been done the usage of Value Stream Mapping. As this tool determine, the problems analysis has began in the final product Dispatch, to better attend to the customers’ demands. It has proceeded through previous processes, in direction to the incoming of raw material. The reason of the adoption of this method was to make possible the pulled production and avoid that the available material dictate the productive rhythm. The results were evaluated using proposed indicators on this methodology and has been elaborated a Value Stream Map, concluding the project.
