Aplicação do mapeamento de fluxo de valor em uma indústria metalúrgica do oeste do Paraná

Abstract

This study addresses the importance of the application of lean thinking in organizations, using as a tool the VSM (Value Stream Mapping), where one can identify seven categories of waste in production. The aim of this study is to apply the analysis of mapping the value stream for a product family, in a metallurgical industry in western Paraná. This research is classified as descriptive, because it establishes the relationship between the variables and describes the characteristics of a phenomenon. Can also be classified as literature and case study, to be drawn from material already published and involve a detailed study. In literature it is pointed out based on the CFP (Planning and production control), Lean Production and MFV. After collecting data with the design of the current status if it can verify that the organization had the unbalanced production line. Some production times are superior to others, which generates waste as expected, inventory, handling and overproduction. As for excess production, the organization produces plays more than requested by the client, before being asked by the same. To improve the flow and reduce waste identified to propose that the organization changes the batch transfer, and was simulated with the Gantt chart to see if improvements occur. Thus, it can be seen that the lead time that was ten days, became a day and a half, reducing waste. Thus it can be concluded that with the MFV is possible to identify waste and to see simple improvements that can be performed without generating investments for the organization.
