This paper had the objective of evaluating the productive process of an industry of beneficiation and tempering glass located in the Dourados – MS and investigating the waste of the production through the Value Stream Mapping tool (VSM), based on the principles of the lean production. From the preparation of MFV managed to show improvement in the process and point out the waste within the production chain 5W1H proposing a plan of action. It can be concluded that the Value Stream Mapping tool is valid to identify waste and seek improvements in the production chain without recourse to new technologies or overspending. It was possible to identify the weak points and acting proactively in potential gains exposed by mapping, achieving good results.
