Implementação do kanban para redução da movimentação de matéria prima: uma aplicação do lean seis sigma na logística de apoio à produção

Abstract

This research presents a case in a residential and commercial paint's industry, which has the inbound logistic as a bottleneck of its productive system. The inbound logistic is the bottleneck of this industry because of the expansion of its productive system, due to the high growth shown by the company in recent years. The context is translated into the need to build a drive system of raw material, capable to support the production with the volume, speed and flexibility required, incurring the lowest possible cost. The challenge is to prepare the logistic system to meet the supply of raw materials without damage to production. This research demonstrates the implementation of an improvement project that applies Lean Six Sigma in the Inbound Logistic. It has emphasis on a kanban system adopted as solution to reduce the handling in the raw material supply process to production. Aims to present the integration of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies with the Logistic, in order to achieve complementarity between them. This work is concluded with the presentation of results from the integration of these methodologies, highlighting the gains from the improvement project, which unites the statistical accuracy of Six Sigma, with objectivity and simplicity of Lean in solving problems, with the needs and the principles of Logistic.
