Aplicação de Manufatura Enxuta em uma Montadora de Aparelhos Eletroeletrônicos: Estudo de Caso e Impactos na Produtividade

Abstract

This study addresses the application of Lean Manufacturing philosophy in an electro-electronic appliances assembly plant, aiming to identify and reduce waste in the production process. Tools such as value stream mapping, work cells, Kanban system, and lean internal logistics were employed. The results showed a 37% productivity increase in 2014 and 28% in 2015, along with a reduction in operational costs above 10%. The work emphasizes the importance of standardization, visual management, and employee engagement for sustaining the achieved gains.
