Abstract

This work presents the application of management tools in the PDCA cycle model to suggest a solution for the givenweight in sausage’s primary packaging of a food industry located in the city. of Uberlândia. With the data collection of the history of givenweight of all production lines that the unit had, it was stratified with the aid of the Pareto Diagram, that sausages had the highest index of givenweight. By identifying the problem, it was possible to set a goal for the reduction of products with weight variation above 1% of the target weight. Therefore, meeting with a team of people from different sectors of the industry in to identify possible causes of the problem with the aid of the Ishikawa Diagram. Using the GUT Priority Matrix, this same team voted which causes would be prioritized. Soon after, the action plan was elaborated to implement the chosen solution. After the action plan tasks were performed, the data were collected and compared with the initial data. The goal set by the team has not been achieved, but the results achieved in the months following the implementation of the plan indicate that actions taken can bring better long-term results. From the final analysis of the data after implementation of the action plan, the PDCA cycle is concluded.
