Mapeamento do fluxo de valor orientado pelo método PDCA: estudo de caso em uma linha de produção de ferramentas para pintura

Abstract

The present work aims to apply the Value Stream Mapping tool (VSM) guided by the PDCA management system in a production line of paint rollers in a civil construction company that manufactures tools for painting. The VSM is essential to clearly and visually understand the movement of information and material that the product or a family of products runs from the supplier to the customer, detailing the process value flow. To apply VSM, the study uses the PDCA cycle, which is stratified into fourteen stages of execution distributed in the four phases of the cycle: Plan, Do, Check and Act. The case study has as main deliveries the definition of the present and future state Value Stream Map, the elaboration of a plan to implement improvement actions and the identification and improvement of the production bottleneck, thus optimizing the processes studied, increasing productivity and reducing costs.
