Redução do Custo e Ganho Financeiro com a Diminuição do Tempo de Setup: Estudo de Caso em Injetoras de 800 Toneladas

Abstract

This study presents a procedure to reduce setup time in 800-ton injection molding machines at a company in the Manaus Industrial Hub, using the SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Dies) method. The research shows that reducing setup time to less than 15 minutes, combined with a continuous improvement system, led to financial gains exceeding R$ 200,000.00, along with improvements in productivity, quality, and safety.
