Análise de processo produtivo baseada em ferramentas lean: estudo de caso em uma fábrica de transformadores

Abstract

Lean Manufacturing seeks greate efficiency in processes and elimination of waste, causing companies to reorganize themselves in a way that responds to the competitiveness imposed by the Market. One of the main ways of eliminating waste is the application of lean tools in manufacturing processes, enabling the reduction of production costs. Knowing the importante role that academic scientific researchers have towards society, the main objective of this case study is to analyze, based on lean tools, the production process in a transformer factory in the city of Cruz das Almas – BA. Initially, the mapping of manufacturing processes of a product with their respective times was made, and later the Value Stream Map of the currente state was developed, lean tools were applied and the Value Stream Map of the future state was designed with the objetive of result in improvements in production times.
