RESUMO

The main objective of this work was the development and implantation of improvements in industrial process to manufacture preservatives using the Six-Sigma methodology. The motivation was the increasing number of employees that were withdrawn and reallocated due to Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), because, further permanent damages caused to the employees, there are existing costs associated with the substitution of workers, training, overtime, employee recovery, and salaries paid to withdrawn workers. The methodology was applied to two parts of the process: the electric test of the preservatives for verification of non-compliances in the product, and, in the manual unbind process, when a certain package unapproved in lab tests, is rejected and required to have another electrical test. Using the DMAIC methodology, recognized in the whole world as the way of structure the projects of improvement according to Six-Sigma, are defined the improvements objectives, measuring of the existing system, analysis of the measured system, improvement of the system and control of the new system. The solution uses automation with support of electro pneumatics devices that are operational, cost and energetic efficiency. The automation of this process completely eliminated the appearance of new Repetitive Strain Injury cases, and, still provided increased productivity, reduced storage area and reduced overtime.
