Análise e redução do tempo médio de setup através de um projeto em uma impressora flexográfica de dez cores

Abstract

The high competitiveness generated by the globalized market scenario makes companies seek adjust production in pursuit of high productivity coupled with lower costs and consequent profit maximization. In this sense, the implementation of processes that lead to the minimization of the incidence of problems, making systems more efficient production is considered one of the most important factors for companies to achieve these results. In pursuit of increased production efficiency, this research describes a project that was developed to reduce the average time of setup on a flexographic printer of flexible packaging industry of multinational industry packaging in Londrina, large, and aims to provide the knowledge base to minimize costs in the printing process. Based on this project implemented by the company, the objective of this study was to conduct a critical analysis of results obtained after implementation of the project. The methodological development of the present study was based on literature review, with qualiquantitative and exploratory approach, and case study. Data collection was conducted through documentary sources and software provided by the company. For the analysis we used tools PDCA method. In our critical analysis we observed the following weaknesses in project implementation: lack of verification and availability of basic conditions and accessories that make up the machine, thus generating a failure in the planning stage of the project; anilox problem of clogging, damaging execution phase of the project, and the verification step, the lack of monitoring of subordinates by production supervisor, resulted in poor execution and the standard set of notes to be made by operators, which compromised the process
