RESUMO

Growing with a minimum investment has been the greatest challenge for several companies, especially in an inauspicious environment, when there are crisis and economic disorders going on; and also searching better performances from methods that might be able to lead these companies to conquer and assure productivity and flexibility regarding the industrial process, in an efficient, simple and agile manner. The SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies) methodology is the main and most spread set of techniques that aims to reduce the equipment setup time, minimizing nonproductive time and wasting in the factory. By reducing the setup time, itâs possible to improve customer service, productivity, agility, the levels of wasting and the quality of the products. This paper work is inserted in this field of study, as it proposes to apply a method to reduce the setup time, making it appropriate for the particularities of the food industry that uses TQC (Total Quality Control) as a management system, in order to increase production capacity, flexibility and efficiency of the line, producing smaller lots, and therefore improving their competitiveness. The application of this methodology was preceded by a discussion of integrated tools in the studied topic - the classical Shigeo Shingo Quick Changeover for Operators, the planning and balancing of resources - and aspects concerning the current profile of the food industry in Brazil, connecting them to the importance of setup activities improvement. A bibliographical research was conducted, involving the concepts of Lean Production System, as it was in this context that the TRF was established and it is the operations management system which better fits the TRF and the concepts of management by TQC, since this new environment is the one the TRF will be applied. The conclusions of this study highlight the contributions from the application of the proposed methodology through the evolution of the performance indicator of setup time, resulting in a significant efficiency, productivity, flexibility and competitiveness increase.
