Melhoria de produtividade em uma linha branca do PIM com aplicação do Lean Manufacturing: estudo de caso

Abstract

This scientific research if based in the case study, applied in assembly line of air conditioners type window, a company in Manaus industrial pole (PIM), with targets of reducing operational costs, based on their internal indicators of year 2016: zero base budget (OBZ), where identified a potential source to reduce operational costs in your assembly line the welding of parts, the welders were the bigger salaries because they are more qualified. The general objective of this dissertation was the understanding of how the interaction between Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma could contribute to the company reduce your assembly costs and increase your productivity. Their methodology was an experimental case study, applied nature, quantitative and qualitative approach, with descriptive purposes and experimental procedures, general features to verify the relationship between the variables, in which the experiment was a planning type with Six Sigma tools. The results achieved, for this research, was ratified how the interaction of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma can help to become an assembly line more productive with stable results in terms of cost and quality. Intending this research to be the basis for applying these methods in small companies as the future research work of other researchers.
