RESUMO

This work developed a methodology to implement self-management manufacturing cells that are a type of organization where employee groups are in charge of a complete sequence of work in the production process of goods and service intended for internal and external clients. The objective of this work is to adapt a methodology to allow the empowerment of the manufacturing cells workers, identifying the requirements for implementation and assessment of the self-management concept. The contribution of this search consisted in an audit proposal that formulates whether the cell is self-managed or not. Furthermore, the opportunities of necessary improvements for correction purposes are pointed out. The company achieved improvements in logistics and inventory reduction, both of parts and of machining tools. The financial consequences of these improvements showed a break-even of the invested amount within 8 months. The monitoring of the implementation included an audit that was held after about two years after the implementation of the pilot cell. The methodology was implemented in an automotive supplier company. This occurred through its practical application ? in an experimental basis through a pilot cell ? that was eventually validated and proved as being efficient
