Market competitiveness has increased and companies are increasingly looking for methodologies that enable them to have higher productivity and organization at work, at low cost. More flexible and innovative processes and products are key to the survival and success of many companies. The importance of a study of Kaizen philosophy is due to the fact that it is based on continuous efforts to improve the system. Therefore, the present study aims to clarify the process of continuous improvement through the implementation of the Kaizen tool so that it can guide the productive improvement of companies in the Manaus (AM) industrial hub. This scientific article was elaborated, based on the bibliographic research resulting from an analysis, which considered the two-axis cross perspective - Kaizen philosophy and continuous improvement. This article demonstrates the Kaizen continuous improvement tool as it emerged and the benefits generated in environments that encourage learning and cooperation among individuals, working on human resource development so that improvement initiatives are truly continuous.
In a highly competitive global scenario, companies are looking for ways to optimize their processes, reducing costs and improving the quality of their products. In this context, several tools were developed to improve the companies' inventory management, one of them being the ABC Curve as a method to hierarchize the inventory according to the intrinsic value of each material, allowing the analysis of how the supply should work. from each supplier. The present work aims to perform the application of the ABC curve method in the zagaia restaurant, located in the city of Manaus / AM that will allow the stock hierarchy and will be through the classification of the raw material according to its annual demand and its Unit price. As a premise, a bibliographic research on content planning and inventory management was adopted, as well as an on-site study to catalog the items and check with the restaurant management, their values, their quantities and how the chain works. of supplies. The results presented confirm that Class A items need greater attention due to their high value, while Class C items do not impact financially as much, but need attention to be properly allocated within inventory as they represent the largest volume.
Companies are looking for new ways to carry out their processes automatically and accurately. Thus, the machines that are part of the process need to be stopped, called setup, so that they are prepared to continue producing other products on the production line. This work was developed with the main objective of showing the effect of reducing the setup time in a television factory, and as specific objectives to present the concept of Fast Tool Change; present the negative effects of a production that has a lengthy setup; punctuate the benefits of reducing setup time in a factory. The methodology used is focused on exploratory research where it was necessary to visit the production line of a 32 ", 42", 50 "and 55" Smart TV board manufacturing company, in order to apply the data collection instruments. To verify the failures resulting from the shutdowns and the problems that are related to the production setup time, quality tools such as Ishikawa Diagram, 5W2H and before and after study flowchart were used. As expected results, the company was able to reduce machine preparation delays, batch delays became minimal.
With the increasing competitiveness in the market and the constant development of technologies, today companies are constantly improving, the managers' concern is to achieve maximum process productivity with minimum losses and waste, thus reducing the value to the maximum. aggregate to the product and taking considerable profit margins from sales, so it is of paramount importance to have a lean production process, with well-balanced production times, a minimal amount of work in process and especially a minimal amount of labor , which has very high costs that generates added value directly in the product. In this study was applied the methodology, observation, quantitative and deductive based on theoretical references in order to maximize the efficiency of the production process, through the use of some Lean methods and quality tools as a way of discourse for process improvement also applying process balancing with the primary purpose of reducing the amount of direct labor. Thus the present study presented satisfactory results increasing the efficiency of the microwave oven production line, with the reduction of a direct operator, bringing a leaner and more efficient process.
At the fierce level that companies generally find themselves in, it is no longer allowed to let the missing material off the shelf of a stock, be it material that is part of the product or indirect material that assists in assembly activity. People involved in the item buying activity need to have full control of inventory, whether planning, changing the planned or planning the unexpected. For the preparation of this study, the daily activity of indirect stock operators of a White Line Company was observed. The factory material control system (ERP) has many functions that made control complex. In parallel to the ERP system, a material control worksheet was created and shared in the cloud that allows all necessary information regarding an item to be easily viewed, where the indirect material worksheet manager needs to update daily by downloading every morning information from the ERP system. Getting better inventory supply chain management, better execution of activities.
The objective of this study was to propose the implementation of post-consumer reverse logistics in a cosmetics company located in Manaus - AM (ZFM) Free Trade Area with the objective of optimizing the production processes in a sustainable way from the reuse of packaging waste, which will become raw materials in other production processes (feedback. It was adopted as a study method two types of research: bibliographic research and observational study. The Reuse Program will aim to promote the optimization of the production process of consciously and sustainably so that reverse logistics operation boosts the company's business.Investing in improving the logistics process of companies is critical to optimizing their processes and meeting the growing demand for quality services and products. B&B Cosmetics Company sought to invest in a re-logistics program. It is a post-consumer version to enhance its market actions and ensure competitive advantages.
Among the focuses of industries is the reduction of waste costs, this makes the product competitive, reduces the number of failures and, consequently, the price to the end consumer. Industrial Pole of Manaus (I.P.M.) promotes the economic development of the region and brings together large and medium-sized companies that use plastic painting as one of the stages of their production process and care about quality and invest in management methodologies, resources and technologies to optimize your processes. With this in mind, improvements were proposed in a company to reduce defects in paint in plastic parts in the motorcycle sector, and the use of appropriate quality tools and management techniques, which enabled a more assertive decision-making, measured its effects and solved the causes of the problem. The type of non-conformity of the highest level of occurrence was approached, which are defects classified as impurities, from it were identified root causes found, all variations in processes that benefit the emergence of this defect and opportunities for improvements in the process. This it can be done only with behavioral changes and with minimal economic investment.
