Abstract(s)
This study was undertaken at a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) in the metalworking
sector, where Lean Management has been implemented through several Lean Tools (LT)
and their variations. This study comprised two main goals. The first involved demonstrating
which LT allow the highest impact during the implementation phase, thus producing great
influence both in terms of organization and operational results, as well as in the context of
employees’ motivation. The second goal consisted of introducing procedure changes based on
the Management of Human Resources through Lean Leadership tools.
By implementing these two objectives, one was able to achieve an increase of 8,5% in machine
occupancy rate, and a reduction of 27,9% regarding the costs of defective products per hour.
