Aplicação da metodologia PDCA na redução de paradas nas linhas de envase de uma fábrica de lasanhas devido à presença de corpos estranhos nos produtos

Abstract

In an increasingly competitive market, the relentless pursuit of increased efficiency is one of the main guidelines in today's corporate environment. Such efficiency is directly linked to the quality of the company's processes. This project demonstrates how the PDCA method can be applied to an industry to reduce stoppages due to foreign bodies in the process, tolerating losses, thus increasing efficiency and maximizing profits. To this end, relevant quality tools will be used in the analysis of the current situation of the problem, stratification and planning of actions to mitigate the causes raised, as well as the effectiveness of effectiveness and standardization to perpetuate the improvements. The study revealed that implementing the PDCA method had a significant impact on the process, generating unique results that exceeded conditional targets. This resulted in a particular reduction in production losses and, consequently, a substantial financial return, with a payback of just one month.
