Abstract

Realizing the great concern of companies regarding competitiveness and the search for an increase in production efficiency, the present study aims to diagnose the seven wastes of production, portrayed by Taiichi Ohno, in a food industry in the western region of Paraná. The development of the work took place in a biscuit production unit where the production line manufactures 30 types of different products, categorized as buttery, rolled, stuffed and syringed. The research consists of the detailed understanding of the production process, identification and diagnosis of waste and suggestions for improvement for the company. During the work several tools and forms were used for data collection and analysis, ensuring a concrete and reliable diagnosis of the production scenario. A total of 169 production wastes were identified, encompassing the seven categories of production losses, most of which were classified as very relevant and of production defects and superprocessing. The areas that presented the most losses were the production of biscuits and packaging.
