Estudo de melhoria de um supermercado interno de itens C

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of improvements in a supermarket for C items in a frequency inverter factory, aiming to optimize material flow and reduce inventory costs. The focus is on the efficient management of C item stock through a supermarket system, aligned with Lean Manufacturing principles. The research is conducted in a medium-voltage factory in São Paulo, using qualitative analysis methods to evaluate the impact of Kanban and Just-In-Time practices. The results indicate significant improvements in operational efficiency, notably an 8% reduction in the inventory cost of C items. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating how Lean strategies can be adapted to specific manufacturing environments, promoting more effective and economical resource management.
