Abstract

This work had as objective the development and construction of an equipment to stick signboards. It was an applied research, with a quantitative approach, conducted in a small business in the South of Minas Gerais. Before and after the construction of the equipment, the company was observed and the Ishikawa Diagram and the Pareto Chart were used, in order to identify the problems and solve them. The main problems identified were: low production of plates, excessive loss of plates due to production failures and complaints of pain in workers who stick the plates. It was verified the feasibility of building the equipment to stick the signposts. The equipment produced contributed positively to the company under study, as it increased production, reduced the time for making the boards, reduced the number of boards with defects, consequently increasing the company's profitability. In addition to having reduced the employee's physical wear with repetitive movements, which minimized the complaint of pain. It is concluded that the construction of the equipment for the adhesive of traffic signs was feasible and contributed to increase the company's production.
