Abstract

Controlling processes in rapidly expanding companies can be complex and costly if not done in an organized and planned way. The combination of the arrangement of processes, the high variability of produced parts and a large volume manufactured can be a factor that increases the propensity of losses. In this context, this study aims, based on lean practices, to propose improvements in the thin sheet cutting process of a production line of an elevator plant located in the southern region of Brazil. In methodological terms, the case study was selected. The research is classified as descriptive, of an exploratory nature. As results, significant losses were achieved in the current process, with gains in quality, inventory reduction, reduction of rework and productivity increase through the application of lean tools and techniques.
