Aplicação do mapa de fluxo de valor: estudo de caso em indústria química

Abstract

The implementation of methodologies and application of tools aimed at continuous improvement are one of the main strategies for organizations to survive in today's market. With the high competitiveness and increasingly demanding quality standards, companies need advantages to stand out, whether through products and services at competitive prices, reducing waste, improving productivity and/or reducing idleness of equipment, materials and labor. Given this scenario, this work aims to analyze the production process of a cleaning products company and propose improvements through the application of the Value Stream Map (MFV) and lean production tools. Through the MFV, it is possible to identify the main bottlenecks and waste within the production process and present suggestions for improvements that contribute to a more efficient performance. The methodological procedure adopted is an applied research with a qualitative approach, with descriptive objectives, accompanied by a case study. From the drawing of the map of the current state of the process, it is possible to visualize the proposed suggestions that will bring benefits to the company in question
