Mapeamento do fluxo de valor (MFV): aplicação do MFV para implantação da produção enxuta no setor de compras de uma empresa do ramo metal-mecânico

Abstract

MFV-Value Stream Mapping is a tool that promotes the practice of lean production principles in the manufacturing process. Based on this premise, this work aims to map the Value Flow of the direct application materials purchasing sector, in a large company in the metal mechanic sector, in the municipality of Panambi-RS. On that occasion, the company's Purchasing sector was chosen, which is overloaded by a high demand, meeting the needs of the company for the acquisition of goods and services as a whole, generating inefficiency in the process and delay in issuing orders. Regarding the research, the qualitative and quantitative perspectives were approached, regarding the procedures, it is a case study and operationalized through different sources of evidence, namely: data collected through the application of a questionnaire, focus groups and direct observation. The activity itself was mapped in its current state and projected in its desired future state, in order to bring together lean production practices. Even though the projected future state is being implemented and there are no indicators for a decisive estimate, the first results already show the evolution that lean production practices bring to the current process. Among the most relevant results, the progress of productive times (lead time, waits and processing) and the reduction of time of processes that do not add value stand out.
