Aplicação de ferramentas lean para eliminação de desperdícios em uma indústria do segmento automotivo

Abstract

With increasing competitiveness and market complexity, companies are looking for alternatives that allow obtaining improvements in the performance of their processes through waste disposal, increased productivity and quality. This work aims to present a case study of how an industrial organization of the automotive segment can eliminate waste by using the tools of Lean Manufacturing. For this purpose, diagnostic and follow-up tools are used with participant research, allowing a greater interaction between researchers and collaborators of the industrial organization. Initially, the implementation of the 5S methodology was performed in order to make the environment cleaner, organized and standardized, then there was the preparation and execution of the Kaizen event, and in the sequence there was the standardization of the tasks. The results indicate that a significant reduction of waste in the process was achieved, obtaining productivity gains, reducing production time and increasing process efficiency.
