Execução de um projeto piloto de melhoria contínua em uma indústria de Bioinsumos

Abstract

This study executed a continuous improvement pilot project in the secondary production area of a bio-inputs industry, using quality tools and the concepts of the Kaizen philosophy. It was structured in a qualitative way through action research carried out in an industry of production and distribution of Bio-Inputs, with the objective of implementing improvements in the processes aiming at benefits for the company, mainly in the reduction of time and costs. Also, the qualification of employees was carried out through training in order to change their perception of the process and always seek new improvements. Among the results obtained, we highlight the reduction of waste and the change in the behavior of employees with respect to continuous improvement projects and the incorporation of the quality culture in the company. In addition, the execution of the project reduced by almost 100% a problem with raw material that occurred at the beginning of the process.
