Impactos da implantação da produção enxuta: o caso de uma metal - mecânica

Abstract

This work aims to verify the impacts of implementation of the principles of lean production in a production line of a Metal-Mechanic. Whereas the market has a competitive and growing environmental concerns, companies need to improve its structure and flow of production to increase the added value, reduce waste and view competitive advantage. In this context, lean production emerged as a technique or a set of techniques for production management, being considered as a complete philosophy includes aspects of materials management, quality management, physical layout, product design, work organization and management human resources, among others to address these needs. The construction of this work was done in order to analyze the processing capacity of the implementation of this model, focusing on comparisons at moments before and after the changes in metal-mechanic, as primary data for analysis of the study. It was found from this study that there was a significant improvement in the results of company's operating costs, mainly from the reduction of inventories and less use of labor in production lines, and a better quality in certified products. The research approach is qualitative and quantitative, descriptive and documentary, based on analysis of production data and layout of the structure in order to show the impact of changes.
