Como a ferramenta de mapeamento do fluxo de valor pode auxiliar na identificação de oportunidades de melhoria na expedição de embalados de uma indústria petroquímica

Abstract

In the present work, the value stream mapping of the process of shipment of packed products in a petrochemical industry was mapped in order to identify opportunities for improvement in this process. The exploratory and explanatory research of the shipment process that is part of the internal logistics of the mentioned industry was used and a case study was made using data collection and analysis techniques characteristic of the Toyota Production System. Using tools such as jidoka and JIT to reduce waste from overproduction, standby and defective products an average lead time reduction of 7.15 h to 3.98 h was achieved. The takt time calculated during the study served as a basis for the proper planning of the implementation of the loading windows, thus organizing the arrival of the vehicles in the unit. In view of all the above data, it can be affirmed that the fact that the actions suggested in the present work generate a considerable reduction of the lead time reaching the established goal of 4 hours shows that the value-mapping tool can be used with success in the diagnosis of possible improvements in the shipment process of packaging of a petrochemical industry.
