Desenvolvimento de proposta de redução de custo usando o método Lean juntamente com a modelagem e simulação computadorizada em uma linha de solda do escapamento de motocicletas de uma indústria do Polo de Duas Rodas do PIM

Abstract

With the recent crisis in the brazilian market that has generated a large decline in sales of motorcycles, the market has become increasingly fierce and competitive, forcing companies to improve their skills to make their products more attractive and low-cost, surpassing competitors and offering products that meet customer needs In this context, the research aimed to propose, through the use of software of simulation, improvements in a line of exhaust soldering for motorcycles that allow the reduction of process costs. For this, the mapping of the current value chain was carried out and confirmed by the computational model and then the improvement points were identified and presented in the map of the future value chain. In the improvement proposal, the flow and process stock change was presented. With this, it has been proven that it is possible to reduce inventory, staff and lead time costs. From the results obtained, it was suggested the extension of this research to the rest of the lines of the factory.
