Proposta de implementação da ferramenta DMAIC para redução de riscos de acidentes em cabines de aplicação de verniz e lixamento: um estudo de caso em uma fábrica de móveis

Abstract

In Brazil, accidents at work have alarming numbers that increasingly confirm the need for investment in occupational safety within factories and industries. In the present article, a furniture factory was analyzed in the interior of São Paulo, where it was possible to identify, through preventive work, improving opportunities that could reduce the risk of accidents in the varnish application and sanding booths. For this, the degree of risk of the activities carried out in the cabins was measured through a methodology of the company, as well as the DMAIC tool, enabling identification and achievement of actions that would give employees greater safety during the development of their productive activities. Using its own resources and low cost, consulting with suppliers and integrating support areas within the factory, it was possible to make changes in the way the most critical objects were moved inside the booths, as well as identifying better products in the market that were decisive to considerably reduce the degree of risk in the varnish application and sanding booths, also generating other gains such as quality, time and cost.
