Proposta de melhoria em uma linha de produção de telas de proteção para passarelas utilizando conceitos da manufatura enxuta

Abstract

In recent years, the Brazilian industry has shown a scenario of reduced competitiveness. One of the causes is the decrease in productivity, which can be related to the growth of an industry without proper strategic planning. In this context, lean manufacturing presents concepts and tools that aim to increase productivity gains through the search for the complete elimination of wastes found in a productive environment. This work proposes to present improvements in the production processes in a metallurgical company, applying the concepts of lean manufacturing and aiming at the reduction of waste in the resources used in this specific industrial process. Through the understanding of concepts, data collection, analysis and application of lean tools and other tools used to improve production processes, the work presents as final results a new proposal for balancing, layout and process flow evidencing gains and waste reduction such as in the number of operators, better balancing of operations, reduction of stock and work in process, reduction in handling time and internal transportation.
