ESTUDO PARA IMPLANTAÇÃO DE BALANCEAMENTO DE LINHA NO PROCESSO DE MONTAGEM DE PRODUTOS ELETRODOMÉSTICOS

Abstract

This paper describes the obstacles faced in the production of household appliances in a multinational company, where failures in these processes have a direct impact on product quality and productivity. Such an approach is necessary because it shows the application of continuous improvement tools to make the production leaner, being necessary a planning to reach an efficient productive process. The purpose of this research is to analyze the concepts of improvement tools, making product production happen in a balanced and planned way, aiming to eliminate unnecessary activities and production restarts that significantly reduce the time of non-processing, inventory in process and also helps in the maintenance of the quality, detecting immediately nonconformities. The analysis was developed through a case study carried out through the data collection, where the problems faced in the assembly cell were evidenced. From the evidence, a set of actions will be proposed in which they provide reduction of activities that do not add value, line leveling, working methods and productivity gain. The article finally presents the effects of the analysis of the case study followed by the results and concludes that through the techniques used in the study the company would increase its productivity and would better show the solution of problems in the productive process.
