Aplicação da metodologia 5S para redução de desperdícios em uma empresa gráfica de impressão de livros editoriais e embalagens

Abstract

This paper is a case study that looks at the successful implementation of the 5S Program in a printing industry located in João Pessoa, with a focus on printing editorial books and packaging. The main objective is to describe the process of implementing a waste management model within the scope of the 5S methodology. In order to facilitate this implementation, an action plan was drawn up which included identifying the challenges, training employees and forming a responsible committee. The senses were implemented over the course of a year, without interrupting production, and with the collaboration of all employees. An auditing system was developed to ensure that the senses were maintained over time. Despite the challenges faced, such as cultural resistance, significant improvements were seen in operational efficiency, product quality and employee satisfaction. In addition, the company has managed to reduce waste, promoting a cleaner, more organized and safer environment. These changes have also influenced the organization's culture and work routine. In conclusion, even in the face of the resistance encountered, the proposed objectives were achieved and the results obtained were considered satisfactory. The main learning was the realization that maintaining cleanliness and organization is easier than dealing with disorganized environments.
