Contribuições da produção enxuta e produção mais limpa para a melhoria de processos produtivos: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Companies are in an increasingly dynamic and competitive environment, which encourages them to always seek new management strategies to improve their performance and meet the needs of their customers. Among these strategies can be found Lean Production and Cleaner Production, which have values focused on economic sustainability and environmental sustainability, respectively, and the good practices of these techniques are mainly related to the elimination of waste and the reuse of waste generated in the processes, generating operational advantages, value to the process and increased productivity. Research reveals compatibility between Lean Production and Environmental Sustainability approaches, however, few in-depth exploration of the opportunities for improvement that integration of good practices of these methodologies can provide. The objective of this work was to identify the contributions of integration points between Lean Production and Cleaner Production by means of a case study in a company that is currently in the field of civil construction and propose the implementation of tools that use principles of both methodology to solve the problems identified in the case study. As a result, it has been confirmed that both practices complement and collaborate for greater performance and efficiency of the company's processes.
