Gestão de desperdício de filmes plásticos em um frigorífico de aves durante a pandemia de COVID-19

Abstract

A drop in input production, an increase in demand due to the industrial recovery and the increase in the dollar, which favors exports, are consequences caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, some industries have been facing problems regarding the unavailability of inputs and the exponential increase in the prices of these products, which in turn are essential in the production process. Thus, the management of input waste becomes an ally of companies to reduce production costs and optimize the use of these inputs, especially plastic films. In order to identify the main points of waste of primary plastic packaging, data was collected in the process and the application of tools such as the Integrated Management System (ERP), Ishikawa Diagram and PDCA cycle to facilitate the process of identifying the main waste points of primary plastic packaging in a medium-sized poultry slaughterhouse. Through the Ishikawa Diagram, three aspects responsible for waste were raised, namely: Operational, Mechanical and electrical failures of machines and Non-compliance with the technical sheet of Products. With data analysis from the ERP System, it is possible to implement improvements in the process, such as operator training and packaging recovery, and improvements were implemented regarding the compliance of products with the technical sheet. These improvements linked to actions taken within the process brought positive results for the organization, mitigating the negative impacts that the pandemic brought to the world.
