Redução de perda de extrato de uma linha de envasamento de latas através da metodologia Kaizen

Abstract

In Brazil year after year brewing industries have been expanding due to the increase of the demand for its products. With that, this niche of industry have been looking for ways to make its processes more and more efficient. The quest to reduce losses and increase productivity has become something inherent to the process. To reach this goal, many of these large companies have adopted the TPM (Total Productive Management) methodology as the path to be followed for their development. This methodology brings improvement tools, such as Pareto Analysis, LPP, RCFA, Kaizén teams, etc. The present work focused on reducing the extract losses in a packaging area through the TPM methodology. To carry out this work, a Kaizen team was set. The main results were the reduction in the extract losses of the line in 18%, as well as the creation and review of operational procedures, the creation of an area for valve review, and the establishment of a new valve review routine.
