AUMENTO DA EFICIÊNCIA PRODUTIVA ATRAVÉS DA REDUÇÃO DO TEMPO DE SETUP

Abstract

With the need to have increasingly competitive processes, companies seek techniques that emphasize efficient work of high quality and flexibility, to meet these needs, seek processes that aim to reduce costs, increase the productivity of production factors, develop rapid capacity organization's responses and streamline processes. Due to these business needs, we are under pressure to reduce any waste of time resulting from the preparation of equipment (or setups), minimizing non-productive periods on the factory floor. For this, we use management tools such as the quick tool change (TRF), which is based on techniques to emphasize cooperative team work and the proposition of creative ways to improve the process. This work aims to show through the case study the benefits of having a program to reduce setup time and productivity gains with the implementation of this program.
