Balanceamento de processos em uma linha de montagem estrutural de uma empresa aeronáutica

Abstract

This paper addresses a problem of imbalance in the structural assembly line of an aerospace industry. The study aims to identify deviations in the current production process and opportunities for improvement to optimize the assembly line. The methodology consisted of defining the case, collecting data through a time and motion study to monitor the process and analyze the data, with a focus on using Lean Manufacturing principles. During the analysis of the production process, a discrepancy was identified between the standard operating time and the actual time practiced by production. Through process monitoring, improvements were proposed in the manufacturing process, such as simple layout changes, introduction of support equipment to improve work pace, and use of a machine to optimize production time. Based on the information collected and the analysis of the production process, improvements were proposed to reduce operating time and ensure balance in the production line.
