Redução do tempo de setup em uma linha de envase de bisnagas em uma fábrica de cosméticos

Abstract

The enhancement of productive efficiency in the cosmetics industry involves the implementation of measures aimed at increasing the productivity of processes. A critical element in this context is the operational availability of manufacturing machines, with setup time emerging as a determining factor. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present a research project focused on reducing the setup time of a filling machine for tubes of different sizes in a cosmetic production line. To theoretically support this research, a literature review on Lean Manufacturing and the principles of SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) will be conducted. The study is then carried out in a company with a corresponding profile, where SMED will be applied to reduce the setup time of the filling machine. Among the results, the study outlines the steps taken to reduce the machine’s setup time, including a practical application with both partial and final results. Following the implementation of the method, adapted to the analyzed scenario, a 56% reduction in the average setup time of the machine where the method was applied was observed, leading to a 0.5% increase in overall OEE.
