Abstract

The current study is dedicated to present improvements from the process mapping in a rubber processing company. For this, the processes were analyzed through Value Stream Mapping, the activity fluxogram was evaluated, the takt time was calculated and the Current State Map is presented. From the understanding of the bottleneck process and the influences that affect productivity in a negative way, was presented the Future State Map. Production planning and control is the area that embraces the methods used to accomplish the present study, more specifically in relation to process improvement. In order to help in the implementation of the improvements an action plan was elaborated for the company. Finally, the result obtained was the reduction of at least half the time of non-aggregation of value, resulting in a 100% increase in relation to the time of lead time that the company adds value to the product in the current state.
