Aplicação da metodologia DMAIC para ganho de produtividade em uma empresa de extrusão de filmes plásticos, da cidade de Londrina, Paraná

Abstract

Continuous improvement methods are by far the tools that should be used to their fullest, in order to reduce production losses and optimize manufacturing processes. However, sometimes they are implanted and or used in a precarious way, reducing and / or eliminating implantation steps. This lessens the possibility of eliminating losses. The objective of this work will be to present the DMAIC Methodology as a way of continuous improvement of productive processes, through which, it will demonstrate that if applied in its fullness, it can find the root cause of the problem, improving productivity and reducing losses. The method of this work is the experiment, where there will be a comparison between two variables in the studied process. The implementation of this Continuous Improvement Methodology will be demonstrated in its stages, to solve a cause of a problem found in the production process of polyethylene films. As a result of the comparison between two raw materials, there is a gain of almost 3 percentage points in the equipment's OEE.
