Redução de desperdícios de produtos “in natura”

Abstract

The application of Lean tools makes it possible, among other things, to improve processes in general. However, before its application, the diagnosis of the situation in which the process or production system is found must be well listed. Lean as a Philosophy presents a number of benefits and has a recognized degree of applicability. In this case, the objective in question was to reduce the volume of "in natura" product wasted in the bottling line (production). In order to adjust the process related to item M150, a series of actions were established, which are described in the item “Action Plan”. After applying the aforementioned action plan, the partial results obtained were a 3% reduction in in natura product waste in the bottling stage (Jan/Apr 2023); creation of Standard Operating Procedure for line M1; mechanical improvement in the M1 filling machine (Poka-Yoke installation study); and, training with operators to identify bottlenecks in filling. In addition, a better allocation of inputs was noted in the product preparation phase.
