MELHORIA CONTÍNUA: ANÁLISES E MELHORIAS DE PROCESSO DE PRODUÇÃO NA CÉLULA 258 VISANDO O AUMENTO DE OUTPUT DA PEÇA GUARNIÇÃO PARA VEDAÇÃO

Abstract

This work aims to increase productivity and improve the use of labor in the polymer injection process, specifically in the production of sealing parts for the automotive sector. The research was conducted in an automotive company, where high productivity is essential to meet the demands of car manufacturers. The study focuses on the technical analysis of the parameters of the EPDM injection process in the injection molding machines, as well as mapping the layout flow and the execution of manual tasks by the operators. By identifying opportunities for improvement in the settings of process parameters and in the operations carried out by the workers, the work aims to increase production capacity, reduce cycle times and, consequently, improve the company's profits. The implementation of these technical and operational improvements aims to optimize the use of human resources and guarantee the best return on the investments made in the project. The study also highlights the importance of testing and analysis for productive growth and efficiency in the production process.
