Aplicação de metodologias da qualidade para restaurar condições de base e minimizar perdas de ar comprimido em um polo automotivo

Abstract

Continuous improvement is an organizational evolution process that occurs at different levels and can be promoted through various strategies, including the total quality management model and the use of diverse quality tools. The objective of this study was to identify and implement corrective actions to reduce or eliminate compressed air leaks in the distribution system of an automotive industry, with the goal of optimizing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. To achieve this, quality methodologies focused on problem-solving were investigated, highlighting the use of the Analysis and Problem-Solving Method (MASP). The use of a continuous improvement approach proved effective in addressing specific issues, such as compressed air leaks in the automotive industry. The results demonstrated that the application of MASP contribute to the sustainability of the production process while also reinforcing the importance of proactive quality management strategies.
