Proposta de um modelo teórico associando as metodologias: teoria das restrições, Lean Manufacturing e Seis Sigma

Abstract

In the business sector companies are in a race to reduce costs, to achieve the goal they opt for continuous improvement approach, however, such approach are reaching their performance limit. Given this fact in this work will be made an analysis between the main continuous improvement methodologies that are: Theory of Constraints, Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma, so that you can better understand each methodology and thus propose a model that combines the three methodologies. In the course of the proposal development, the Lean methodology focused on the model for manufacturing, the Theory of Constraints prioritized application to small and medium-sized enterprises and Six Sigma emphasized the use of statistical tools.
