Abstract

Studies involving process improvements aimed at increasing the quality of products have been widely developed, and have received the attention of major shareholders of companies. From the study of references in the area of quality, specifically on quality tools it was possible to obtain the knowledge to understand the causes and effects of the problems. In the state of Paraná, a company starting from a data analysis lasting a month identified a high rate of bad quality products sent to the end line, it was created a group of multi-functional studies to identify defect causes and possible improvements in an intermediate line chosen. After the implementation of viable and subsequent data collection improvements also in a period of one month were achieved sufficient results for a detailed analysis. As a result, was achieved an average improvement of approximately 8.3 times the amount of defective products sent to the end line.
