Cost deployment, ferramenta que orienta e prioriza os projetos de melhoria contínua

Abstract

Not only in a crisis scenario in which we are passing, but in any competitive environment, companies need to be prepared to face the dispute for customer satisfaction. Being prepared for this tough competition is constantly improving quality, reducing production costs and eliminating waste and waste throughout the production process. For this it is fundamental that each company adopts or develops methodologies to identify and quantify these losses, in order to be able to define priorities and projects for the most relevant ones. In this context, world class manufacturing (WCM) and specifically the cost-split pillar (CD), appears as a fundamental methodology to guide the work of continuous improvement. The present work aims to know and apply the steps of the cost-split pillar (CD), through the applications of the pillar matrices in the injection department of Weg Motores, identifying the main wastes and proposing improvement works to reduce or eliminate the Losses. The present work is justified due to the existence of wastes, such as: overproduction, unnecessary handling, inventories and constant machine shutdown due to lack of raw material. As a pilot of the application of the methodology, the project focuses on applying the steps of the cost-sharing matrix in a section of the aluminum injection department. It is an exploratory research, which included visits by the researcher in companies that are implementing the WCM, with the participation of some collaborators, specialists in the injection process and also the bibliographic reference on the subject. The cost-split allows the company to see more clearly and objectively the losses and wastes in the process, directing more focused work to solve the most critical problems.
