Estudo de caso – aplicação da metodologia lean six sigma em uma ensacadora de uma linha de produção

Abstract

The DMAIC methodology has strong potential to help structuring organizational problems and support finding solutions to such problems. It is considered a key methodology for the success of improvement initiatives aimed at reducing failures and seeking to increase productivity. To solve this problem, the Lean Six Sigma methodology was used, which integrates two different philosophies: Lean and Six Sigma. While the first focuses on reducing waste, the second is more focused on reducing the variability of processes and defective products. This integration was achieved by applying the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) cycle. The purpose of this document is to clarify and prove the broad benefits of applying the methodology, through its tools and concepts.
