Proposta de melhoria para redução de perdas de embalagens e retrabalho no setor ensaque em uma usina de beneficiamento de sementes

Abstract

This study aims to propose improvements in the bagging sector of a seed processing plant, with a focus on reducing packaging losses and rework caused by errors in the sewing and printing stages. Within the context of agribusiness, a fundamental sector for the economy, the study used the A3 tool from Lean Manufacturing for analysis and problem-solving. The methodology used includes complementary tools such as the Ishikawa Diagram, the 5 Whys and the Effort x Impact Matrix, with the aim of identifying the root causes of deviations and prioritizing corrective actions. The research was applied directly to the production process, focusing on one of the main performance indicators: the error-free packaging KPI, which was at 97.63%, below the target of 99%. After the implementation of the improvements, the index rose to 98.34%, showing an increase of 0.71% percentage point in the accuracy of the bagging process. These results show that the actions adopted contributed to reducing waste, continuous improvement and increasing operational efficiency. It is concluded that the proposed improvements can contribute significantly to improving the work environment and the company's overall performance.
