APLICAÇÃO DA MELHORIA CONTÍNUA E SEUS IMPACTOS DE RENDIMENTO E PRODUTIVIDADE NA INDÚSTRIA ALIMENTÍCIA

Abstract

This work presents a report based on my internship report, focusing on manufacturing efficiency, a highly relevant topic in the industry that directly influences decision-making in companies of all sizes. The pursuit of optimization and waste reduction requires the implementation of improvements throughout the entire production chain, aiming to minimize losses, increase profitability, enhance market competitiveness, and reduce environmental impacts. The study was conducted in a poultry, pork, and processed food processing plant, applying continuous improvement concepts and the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) method to reduce product waste and rework in production. During my internship period, I identified the main causes of waste, developed and implemented improvement and standardization actions. As a result, a significant improvement in production processes was observed, highlighting the importance of applying structured methodologies for operational gains.
