Abstract

This study analyses workmen’s performance in an aeronautical manufacture. Idleness, defined as waste concerning counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs), and added value taxes will be analyzed by testing four propositions: differences among collecting data techniques; differences among wastes; variation of added value rates along the working day and workmen’s profiles having the biggest impacts on idleness. Data gathered from Integrated Management System were higher than the observed, the idleness presented the biggest value among other wastes, morning had bigger added value than afternoon (especially end of the morning) and workmen who are married and have children had smaller idleness. This article shows how the idleness can perform an important role in Lean analyses in operations management and how the procedure can guide strategies to decrease the idleness.
