PROPOSAL OF LEAN MANUFACTURING TOOLS FOR THE ELECTROMECHANICAL MAINTENANCE AREA

Abstract

This research addresses lean tools applied in the area of electromechanical maintenance. A review of the literature and the practical application of both the 5S and the spaghetti diagram were used in order to understand how these tools can be applied to promote improvements in the area of electromechanical maintenance. In this sense, the research question was answered and the objectives achieved. It is concluded that the combination of the theoretical review with the practical application of Lean tools, in a real case, allowed to envision future proposals for improvements with perspectives of substantial gains such as the reduction in the displacement in the turning layout by 70%. Thus, these results highlight the potential of lean tools to reduce waste and increase productivity.
