Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação analisa a aplicação de ferramentas de melhoria contínua e o seu impacto na eficiência operacional em contextos industriais. Numa conjuntura de elevada competitividade e constante necessidade de adaptação, ferramentas como o PDCA, Six Sigma, Lean, Kaizen e 5S assumem um papel central na otimização de processos e na promoção de uma cultura de excelência. A metodologia adotada combina revisão bibliográfica, análise de casos de estudo reais e a realização de três estudos de casos práticos, implementados em ambiente industrial.
Os resultados evidenciam reduções significativas em tempos de ciclo, retrabalho e desperdícios, bem como melhorias na organização do trabalho e na motivação das equipas. A dissertação destaca os fatores críticos de sucesso, como o envolvimento das equipas, a liderança ativa e o acompanhamento de indicadores, mas também os principais obstáculos enfrentados, como a resistência à mudança e a necessidade de formação contínua. A componente prática permitiu validar a eficácia das ferramentas estudadas e adaptá-las às particularidades da organização analisada.
Conclui-se que, quando bem implementadas, estas metodologias contribuem decisivamente para o aumento da produtividade, da qualidade e da capacidade de resposta das empresas.
This dissertation analyses the implementation of continuous improvement tools and their impact on operational efficiency in industrial environments. In a context of increasing competitiveness and constant change, methodologies such as PDCA, Six Sigma, Lean, Kaizen and 5S play a crucial role in process optimization and the promotion of a culture of excellence. The adopted methodology combines a comprehensive literature review, real-world case study analysis, and three practical case studies implemented by the author in an industrial setting. The findings show significant reductions in cycle times, rework, and waste, alongside improvements in workplace organization and team motivation. The dissertation also identifies key success factors, such as team involvement, active leadership, and the continuous monitoring of performance indicators, as well as challenges such as resistance to change and the need for ongoing training. The practical component validated the effectiveness of the studied tools and demonstrated their adaptability to the specific context of the target organization. It is concluded that, when properly implemented, these tools can significantly increase productivity, quality, and responsiveness in industrial companies.
