Aplicação do método de análise e solução de problemas (MASP) em uma empresa de fabricação de panelas de alumínio

Abstract

The process of manufacturing molten aluminum cookware generates a lot of waste. Several of these losses can be considered normal process, such as cracks, material shortages and porosity. However, an acceptable loss index should be stipulated so that it may be possible to identify special causes of deviation in the production process. In this way, the present was developed in a metallurgical industry of manufacture of molten aluminum pots, located in the city of Francisco Beltrão / PR, with application of the methodology of analysis and solution of problems (MASP), to identify the indices of losses; to carry out an analysis of these causes to identify the sources of waste generated in the manufacture of molten aluminum pots and to propose improvement actions for the company studied. A data collection was carried out in the foundry sector with application of stratification tools to segregate the most pressing problems. Then, a root cause analysis was applied using Ishikawa diagram, five why and brainstorming tools. Finally, an action plan based on the 5W2H tool was developed to propose solutions to the company.
