Implantação de layout em célula no processo de criação e confecção de peças piloto em uma indústria de confecções em moda feminina: um estudo de caso

Abstract

In recent years, the fast fashion model has been widespread and followed by large companies in the fashion industry. However, in order to achieve the necessary speed, quality and cost requirements needed to excel in the fast fashion industry, one of the crucial measures to be taken is the processes study and improvement, involving from the creation of the product to the sale itself. Lean manufacturing techniques, such as cellular layout, have been applied and incorporated into different realities within companies, to obtain gains in speed, quality, reduction of lead time, among others, not concentrating only on productive scopes. Thus, it is understood that the use of Lean tools can help the industries inserted in the fast fashion model in obtaining the aforementioned requirements. The aim of this work was to apply lean manufacturing techniques, with a greater emphasis on the cellular layout, in the process of creating and making prototype products in a women's fashion manufacturing industry, resulting in a reduction in the process lead time. The work presented is classified as applied, qualitative, quantitative and descriptive research, highlighting concepts of bibliographical research and case study in conducting the study. There was a reuse of forms and reports for obtaining quantitative data that made the study possible. The results prove the implantation of the cellular layout in the process in analysis, with gains in approval efficiency, higher rate of prototype released in the deadline, reduction of lead time, among others. These results were responsible for the certification of the feasibility of implantation of the proposed cellular layout, thus being in accordance with what was sought.
