| Abstract | |
This work aims to show a model to analyze and design an industrial layout for companies that are implementing or have implemented lean manufacturing concepts. The model developed has a focus in discrete manufacturing companies in environments of high variety of products. The development of the model was based on the experience of layouts projects developed in many companies. The main aim of this work is to create an easy model of application that help people that are involved in the design of the facilities resources. This model utilizes tools and concepts of lean manufacturing to analyze and design a new layout, without considering the layout as an independent variable of production system. Aspects like visual management, quality, continuous flow, etc., were considered in the construction of the model. The layout design model presents also a methodology to implement a new layout projected in brown field situations, where the factory activities do not need to stop its activities. This point is very important because changing in the position of facilities resources can cause interruption in the flow of products. At last, this work shows the 3P Kaizen, a Japanese methodology, developed by Toyota, to design a layout of a new factory or a new production line. (AU) | |
