A UTILIZAÇÃO DE FERRAMENTAS DE MELHORIA CONTÍNUA NA ANÁLISE DE PROBLEMAS E NO AUMENTO DE PRODUTIVIDADE

Abstract

This work demonstrates the use of continuous improvement tools. Such an approach is necessary to promote cost reduction and increase productivity. The purpose of this paper is to use control tools to reduce manufacturing costs and increase dairy productivity, shortening the production cycle and increasing company profitability. This task will be achieved through a case study analyzing the current situation of dairy and proposing changes in the bottling sectors of the company located in the south of Minas Gerais. The analysis proved that the first operation of the process was the bottleneck of all production, raising financial expenses and also increasing the available water resources, giving opportunities for improvements in the process.
