One of the biggest concerns of the industries is to align the production flow with the demand, therefore, the main focus is to adjust all the processes so that they operate at the maximum installed speed, without generating bottlenecks. to ensure the reduction of waste, especially those related to the consumption of electricity. In this sense, this work aims to identify the production bottlenecks of the manual insertion process of the components -BMI of a factory in the Industrial Pole of Manaus, to apply the theory of restrictions -TOC and the Overall Equipment Efficiency index -OEE of the equipment. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to identify the bottlenecks and restrictions of the system and to propose suggestions for improvements in the process, in addition to improving the overall equipment efficiency index of the welding machine through fine adjustments in its setup, as well as software and hardware acquisitions. Installing sensors on the assembly line for monitoring and improving process and maintenance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
