Aplicação da metodologia DMAIC para redução de refugo em uma indústria de embalagens flexíveis

Abstract

This work aims at the use of quality tools and DMAIC methodology to reduce losses in the printing industry of a flexible packaging industry. For a flexible packaging industry, printing is one of the processes that most adds value to the final product, however this process can lead to high costs and waste due to lack of standardization and control, and the chip is the biggest loss of the process. The project aims to reduce the index of trimmings resulting from the printing process. Using the DMAIC methodology, which is divided into five stages, they are: problem definition, where a high index of non-conforming material was identified, the measurement stage, where priority problems were identified, stage analysis, where it was understood the root causes of the problem, which were worked out in the improve step and evaluated in the stage control. Through the methodology it was possible to identify improvement actions and motivate the team obtaining a reduction of approximately 1.3% of the losses.
