Estudo para aplicação do Lean Manufacturing no setor de desossa de um frigorífico de suínos da região Oeste do Paraná

Abstract

Nowadays, more then half of the pigs produced and slaughtered on Brasil comes from South and, to keep on market and follow the growth of the refrigerator industry, the companies need to improve their competitiveness and enlarge their productive capacity. For this is necessary have faster and more integrated processes. Since the lean manufacturing concepts provide many benefits to performance and profitability to industries, this paper conducted a study to apply the concepts of the system in a pig slaughterhouse in western Paraná, to identify waste and activities that didn't add value to the production process. The research was developed with a focus on three sectors: housing cutting sector, boning sector and secondary packaging sector. And within these sectors were analyzed the production of the belly and rib pieces. The drawing of the map of the current state and observations inherent in the process made it possible to identify the limiting processes and activities that didn't add value. The proposed improvements characterize the beginning of the implementation of the continuous improvement process. The future state map drawn up after implementation, will represent the current situation, which can be analyzed and they found other points to be improved. This cycle is to ensure the effectiveness of the implementation of the lean manufacturing system concepts in the company, providing more efficient and productive processes, as well as enhancing the well-being of the contributors.
