Abstract(s)
Num mercado tão competitivo, torna-se cada vez mais importante que as organizações adotem
uma cultura de melhoria contínua, que deverá cruzar todos os intervenientes na organização. A
melhoria contínua dos processos, o aumento da eficiência e a eliminação de resíduos, leva a um
aumento considerável da competitividade no mercado, e não apenas economicamente, mas
também tecnologicamente.
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo implementar melhorias no processo de fabrico da empresa
SNA Europe (Industries), Lda, de forma a aumentar a produtividade de células de produção de
limas, com recurso à filosofia Lean Thinking. Os principais objetivos passaram por estudar a linha
produtiva em questão, avaliar o seu processo, identificar as suas principais deficiências e assim
eleger ferramentas de Lean Manufacturing, que podem ser implementadas de forma a aprimorar
o processo produtivo. Neste trabalho referencia-se um enquadramento teórico sobre a filosofia,
incluindo os seus princípios e ferramentas que possibilitam a sua implementação. Com este intuito,
são apresentados e analisados vários casos de estudo, que realçam a aplicação da metodologia e
os seus resultados no processo de fabrico e assim ilustrar como esta metodologia e a suas
ferramentas, tais como o OEE e Standard Work podem contribuir para a otimização de uma linha
de produção.
Neste trabalho, aplicou-se a filosofia Lean e ferramentas de melhoria contínua para melhorar os
indicadores de desempenho (KPIs) na célula de picagem simples de limas chatas (C.P.S. 8-10").
Foram identificados desperdícios e baixa produtividade na célula, resultando em um OEE de 44%.
Propôs-se atualizar os standard works, criar um kit de setups padronizado e elaborar novos
documentos para auxiliar o controle de qualidade. A implementação do kit reduziu o tempo de
setup em algumas máquinas em 50%. Todos os resultados foram compartilhados com o
Departamento de Melhoria Contínua para possíveis aplicações em outras áreas da empresa.
Conclui-se que a filosofia Kaizen é essencial para alcançar melhorias incrementais contínuas, com
participação ativa dos colaboradores e envolvimento da gestão para disseminar os princípios Lean
em toda a SNA Europe.
In such a competitive market, it is increasingly important for organizations to adopt a culture of continuous improvement that involves all stakeholders within the organization. Continuous improvement of processes, increased efficiency, and waste elimination lead to a considerable enhancement of competitiveness in the market, not just economically but also technologically. The present study aimed to implement improvements in the manufacturing process of SNA Europe (Industries), Lda, in order to increase the productivity of lime production cells, using the Lean Thinking philosophy. The main objectives were to study the production line in question, evaluate its process, identify its main deficiencies, and select Lean Manufacturing tools that could be implemented to enhance the production process. The theoretical framework of the philosophy, including its principles and tools facilitating its implementation, is addressed in this work. Various case studies are presented and analyzed to highlight the application of the methodology and its results in the manufacturing process, illustrating how this methodology and its tools, such as OEE and Standard Work, can contribute to optimizing a production line. The study applied the Lean philosophy and continuous improvement tools to improve key performance indicators (KPIs) in the simple lime flat files production cell (C.P.S. 8-10"). Waste and low productivity were identified in the cell, resulting in an OEE of 44.42%. Proposals were made to update standard works, create a standardized setup kit, and develop new documents to assist with quality control. The implementation of the setup kit reduced setup time on some machines by 50.9%. All findings were shared with the Continuous Improvement Department for potential application in other areas of the company. It is concluded that the Kaizen philosophy is essential for achieving continuous incremental improvements, with active participation from employees and management to disseminate Lean principles throughout SNA Europe.
