Análise da implantação de um sistema de embalagem automática em uma fábrica de componentes de isqueiros no Pólo Industrial de Manaus – AM.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to present the analysis of the implementation of equipment to improve the efficiency of the packaging process of a component of a lighter manufacturer company in the Industrial Pole of Manaus, in order to increase productivity and reduce operating costs in the aforementioned process. . Regarding the methodology, a qualitative research was used, as the phenomena and occurrences were analyzed based on data collected in the process through the use of quality tools. The study of the process data indicated great operational underutilization caused by the long unproductive time in the packaging process and presented expressive results after the implementation of the automatic packaging machine. Thus, it was important to note that, in certain processes, it is necessary to equip the line with robust machinery in order to obtain the best use of available labor. The results also indicated that the applied improvement substantially reduced the number of activities performed by the operator, as well as the packaging time.
