Uso da metodologia e ferramentas Lean na gestão da produção para melhoria da eficiência do processo produtivo – estudo de caso em uma empresa do PIM

Abstract

Due to global competitiveness and production complexity in modern industries, the need for methods to improve efficiency and productivity is highlighted. Given the growing need for industrial modernization, challenges such as process complexity, demand variability and resource limitations, there is a need for fast and assertive solutions, at the risk of inefficiencies and loss of competitiveness. In Brazil, the Manaus Industrial Park (PIM) is an example of how methodologies and tools, such as Lean Manufacturing and VSM, help to overcome challenges such as logistics costs and regulatory pressures, optimizing resources and meeting demand efficiently, together with Production Planning, defining strategies and coordinating operations to minimize costs and maximize productivity. The use of Quality and Production Management methodologies and tools are essential to improve production processes and ensure greater control, as well as focusing on eliminating waste and variations, identifying bottlenecks and optimizing flow. These methodologies and tools combined increase efficiency, improve quality and reduce costs, directly contributing to the competitiveness of companies in the global market. Focusing on the speaker manufacturing industry, the research, conducted in the form of a case study with a qualitative approach, explores the identification of practices to optimize production processes together with production planning, so that they can also be used in problem-solving, to maximize results and the impacts generated for the company. Through the application of these practices, improvements were achieved in the production rate and labor indicators used.
