Abstract

Facing an increasingly competitive market, the search for innovation and improvements to the workflow is essential in order to remain stable. This study therefore looks at the implementation of Lean Manufacturing principles and tools in an agricultural company producing roses, with the aim of improving the productivity, efficiency and profitability of production processes. Using the Gemba Walk methodology, the main people responsible for each of the company's sectors were interviewed through a brief conversation with questions in questionnaires about processes and improvements in their respective activities. Plans were created to implement improvements such as preventive maintenance in the cold room using a PDCA cycle, 5S methodology in the shed, also using a PDCA cycle, and FIFO methodology for storing trolleys in the cold room. The results of the implementation plans involve a reduction in unscheduled downtime, a reduction in maintenance costs, the preservation of assets, the development of a culture of organization, improved workflow and process optimization, as well as continuous improvement.
