Estudo da aplicação da manufatura enxuta para a eliminação de desperdícios em uma fábrica de tubulações de processo

Abstract

The demand of customers for products of higher quality, reliability and low cost, with the phenomenon of globalization and market competitiveness, has resulted in many management tools and methods. Thus, through an applied research, which resulted in a case study with data collection through semistructured changes, the work presents proposals for improvements to eliminate the four main wastes from the manufacturing of process pipes through the implementation of the Lean Manufacturing concepts in a company located in the northern region of Paraná. Throughout the development of the study, the PDCA Cycle, GUT Matrix, Ishikawa Diagram and 5W2H Matrix tools were applied. As main expected results with the application of the proposals, the following stand out: savings of R$ 90,000.00 when carrying out tagging on site; release of 15% of the production space with elimination of finished goods inventory; reduction of R$26,000.00 with the adequacy of the product identification process; and 93.75% reduction in time spent on production control activity.
