Abstract(s)
Face a um mercado cada vez mais competitivo e à evolução constante das tecnologias, as empresas procuram cada vez mais metodologias que lhes possibilitem exponenciar a sua competitividade, produtividade e eficiência de forma a serem capazes de gerar valor, maximizando os recursos sem diminuir a qualidade e satisfação do cliente. O projeto apresentado foi desenvolvido em contexto industrial numa empresa de fabrico de dispositivos médicos, empresa recente em Portugal que carece de princípios básicos de lean manufacturing e que necessita de melhorar os seus processos face ao crescimento do último ano. O estudo focou-se essencialmente na eliminação de desperdícios nas várias etapas do processo. Assim, foi realizado a análise e mapeamento dos processos de preparação, produção e expedição da empresa, onde foram detetadas fontes de desperdício e posteriormente, identificou-se melhorias no funcionamento dos processos. As propostas de melhoria apresentadas incidiram na aplicação de metodologias lean manufacturing e aceites pela empresa foram 5S, gestão visual, modificação do layout, OEE e melhoria da operação de retrabalho. Os principais ganhos com a implementação das sugestões apresentadas foram a diminuição das distâncias percorridas pelas operadoras e pelos produtos (25% de redução para os produtos com maior volume de fabrico), fluxos produtivos sequenciais e organizados na zona produtiva bem como na zona de pesagem, diminuição do cruzamento de produtos, fluxo de entrada e saída de ordens de fabrico estabelecido: zona de ordens de fabrico preparadas para zona em curso e por fim para aguardam embalamento, criação de um espaço de trabalho amplo e organizado, eliminação da probabilidade de erro (uso de componentes que estão em produção vs. em espera), melhoria da comunicação entre departamentos, criação de uma ferramenta de auxílio a reuniões diárias de produção, diminuição da dispersão do material, eliminando o tempo à procura das ferramentas, melhoria do OEE e redução de 13% dos falsos não conformes.
Facing an increasingly competitive and with evolving technology market, companies are continuously using more methods that enable them to boost their competitiveness, productivity and efficiency to allow value generation while maximizing resources without affecting quality and customer satisfaction. The present project was developed, in the industrial context, at a medical device manufacturing company, a recent company in Portugal that was lacking basic principles of lean manufacturing and that needed to improve its processes according to last year's production growth. The study focused on waste elimination at various stages of the process. Thus, an analysis and mapping of the preparation, production and shipping processes of the company was performed, where sources of waste were detected and later improvement points were identified in the operation of those processes. The improvement proposals applying lean manufacturing methods accepted by the company were: 5S, visual management, layout changes, OEE rework operation improvement. The main gains from the suggested implementation were reduced distances covered by operators and products (25% reduction for products with higher production volume), sequential and organized production flows in the production area as well as in the weighing area, reduction of product crossing, in and out flow establishment for manufacturing orders : manufacturing orders zone prepared for ongoing zone and finally to wait for packaging, creation of a large and organized workspace, probability of error elimination (use of components that are in production vs. in standby), enhanced communication between departments, creation of a tool to aid in the production daily meetings, reduced material dispersion, elimination of wasted time searching for tools, OEE improvement and 13% reduction of false non-compliant.
