Ferramentas da engenharia de produção aplicadas em empresa artesanal para o aumento produtivo e redução de desperdícios

Abstract

Good management of resources is necessary for an organization, large or small, to remain on par with other competitors, because, nowadays, the level of competitiveness defines the success of an enterprise. In this sense, there are several ways to manage satisfactorily, through different tools and philosophies that can help, if chosen correctly, proving to be useful for achieving objectives aimed at continuous improvement. In this sense, the present study made use of exploratory research, in which the existing problems were surveyed, and also of action research for the necessary insertions, with the objective of implementing the approach of continuous improvement in the processes, through of the Lean Manufacturing approach, in a small company, Arte Mesa da Lili. In order to mitigate the effect caused by wasted waiting, the 5S methodology was applied in conjunction with a new layout in the physical space to obtain greater production efficiency. The use of these tools proved to be relevant, culminating in effective results, as it was possible to notice a better productive use, with a reduction in costs related to the purchase of raw materials, mitigation of the effects caused by the waste of waiting and production in less time, taking into account in view of the significant reduction in the production of napkin holders around 22.3%.
