Abstract
Abstract: Due to technological advances, trade politicies and society's consumption patterns, competitiveness among companies has increased considerably, requiring practices that provide a constant improvement in production indicators and product quality. In this context, the use of Toyota Production System tools, also known as Lean Manufacturing, have a fundamental role in the elimination of waste and continuous improvement of industrial production levels. Thus, this work aims to implement a standardized work routine among employees working in a market of parts in an Agricultural Machinery industry, which lacks production methods. To represent this situation, real data were used, which correspond to the needs of the assembly line, and which served as the basis for the analysis and implementation of a new work routine. The results obtained enabled the creation of a standardized work routine, which was obtained by balancing activities between operators and eliminating activities that did not add value to the product.
Highlights
With the growing competitiveness among organizations because of technological advancements, trade policies and consumption patterns, the employment of practices that enable the continuous improvement of production indicators becomes a differential for organizations
Many companies end up not having an adequate control of the activities performed during their production process
Organizations searching for a differential in face of their competitors are constantly focused in reducing costs, improving their products’ quality whilst increasing their productivity with focus on meeting their clients’ needs
Summary
With the growing competitiveness among organizations because of technological advancements, trade policies and consumption patterns, the employment of practices that enable the continuous improvement of production indicators becomes a differential for organizations. Many companies end up not having an adequate control of the activities performed during their production process. In this scenario, organizations searching for a differential in face of their competitors are constantly focused in reducing costs, improving their products’ quality whilst increasing their productivity with focus on meeting their clients’ needs. The practices defended by Toyota System Production have been adopted by the most varied industrial branches around the world. This Production System is based on the elimination of waste to improve production levels in companies. To enable the elimination of waste, specific tools are used in order to manage processes and other activities performed inside the company (Liker & Meier, 2007)
