Implementação do sistema de trabalho integrado no setor de utilidades industriais

Abstract

The consumer goods manufacturing industries are always looking to improve the means of production by applying work tools with the aim of increasing the Overall Equipmnet Effectiveness (OEE) and lower production costs. A tobacco industry, located in the city of Uberlândia (MG), noted that the service provider areas for the final product production sector also have a share of contribution to the OEE, as well as their costs are aggregated to the final value of the product. It was decided that the production work system should be applied to the various sectors, integrating all of them. The Integrated Work System (IWS), developed based on the Toyota Production System, began to be implanted in the tobacco industry's production sector in 2014 and is in the process of expansion for other sectors of the industry. The IWS's motto is "Stop the Stops", referring to machine stops, which have a negative impact on the OEE. To fulfill its purpose, IWS offers a number of tools, most of which are derived from well known work tools already widely used by industries. The great differential of this management system is the way it focuses on the development of people and visually exposition of the main KPIs and action plans of the area, in a routine and standardized way even a collaborator who does not know the process of a sector, when arriving at it and facing the visual management, will quickly know the "health" of the processes of the sector. Combining this with the integralization of this system at all hierarchical levels, this ensures that measures are continually being taken to solve process deviations. This project consists of the implementation of IWS in the Utilities sector, responsible for the supply of steam, compressed air, vacuum, cold water, air conditioning, among others; and analysis of the consequences of this change.
