Utilização da metodologia DMAIC para redução de paradas planejadas em uma máquina prioritária em uma fábrica do setor alimentício

Abstract

This research was carried out in a dairy product factory, with the objective of proposing solutions for the reduction of planned stops in one of the priority machines of the filling line through procedures that can be implemented to reduce the cleaning time of the machine responsible for seaming from the bottom packages for filling powdered milk. The work carried out under the action-research methodology and followed the steps of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Implement and Control) to guide the development process through each phase based on the theoretical foundations and tools: Ishikawa diagram (diagram of cause and effect) and 5W2H, as main tools, applied from the methodology. As a result of the development of the research, it was possible to observe that with use of the DMAIC methodology, it was possible to go through all the stages and reach the expected results, demonstrating the potential of the methodology. Therefore, it was possible to achieve the general objective of the work, which presented a reduction in cleaning time of 19%, which is equivalent to 28 minutes, an average production of 130 cans per minute and 3.640 cans per week, representing a financial return of R$ 43.680,00.
