A APLICAÇÃO DA FERRAMENTA DE POKA YOKE NA DIVISÃO DE VÁLVULAS DE UMA INDÚSTRIA AUTOMOTIVA DO MUNICÍPIO DE TRÊS CORAÇÕES

Abstract

This work aims to describe the implementation of the Poka Yoke device in a valve manufacturer. The factory's only product is valves, which are used in internal combustion engines and meet the demand of the aftermarket and also of automobile manufacturers. The problem occurred through a complaint from a customer of this company, due to a valve that was sent with the diameter of the channel outside the specified. Through this complaint, a study was carried out. by a multidisciplinary team, composed of Quality Engineer, quality assistant, production supervisor, production assistant and Mechanical Engineer, developing a new verification method that would prevent problems similar to this from occurring again, thus avoiding a large number of refuse , that new wastes were generated and that new complaints arrived at the company. The method used was a descriptive Case Study on the prescription process for the application of the Poka-Yoke tool in the engine valve division. The results pointed to reductions in lead time, reduction of waste and use of labor that was better leveled after the work was done. There is also an analysis of the difficulties encountered during the project in the production of the valve. Concluding that maintenance with the Poka-Yoke tool can be done in a preventive manner with previous detection of the possible problem. or even, in a corrective way, with the solution of the problem that generates waste in a faster, safer and more successful way.
