Aplicabilidade do vsm na implementação da filosofia lean warehouse em um armazém de açúcar

Abstract

Nowadays, the market of a sugar and ethanol industry is becoming more and more competitive and demanding a high standard of quality of the products obtained from this type of industrial segment, making companies always looking for the best quality. and minimal waste in your production flows. Based on lean philosophy and continuous improvement, the present work was composed in order to identify opportunities for improvement in the production process of a sugar warehouse in a sugar and ethanol industry. To achieve this goal, Value Stream Mapping was used, known as Value Stream Mapping (VSM). In its execution, the productive flow of the sector was mapped, from the receipt of the material (sugar) to the final product (bulk sugar and bottled sugar), so it was possible to know the cycle time, takt time, availability of each process, in order to discover which process is interrupting the sector's production rhythm and propose improvements to increase productivity and reduce waste. The present study is characterized as applied research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach to the problem, with its objective of a descriptive research type and with its methodological procedures based on a case study. From the application and development of the VSM tool, improvement proposals were made through the implementation of lean techniques such as TPM; Visual Management; Andon; Kaizen; A3 and Poka Yoke. In view of this, the future state map was obtained containing the proposals mentioned and the possible gain of the company in the process that disturbed the flow, presenting a reduction of 25% of its cycle time and 12% of the total lead time of the process.
