ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS IN A POLYMER COMPANY IN THE CITY OF SERTÃOZINHO

Production management is related to improving the manufacturing process.By mapping the main routines and operational flows, so that bottlenecks can be resolved.The objective of this analysis is to propose an improvement for the production chain by pointing out its variations between production elements, such as production time, maintenance and its frequency and the control of production data.The single case study method was used to highlight information, results and solutions with production management tools, such as production capacity calculations and root cause analysis (acr).This research contributes to the rational use of the company's resources in the production process, transforming it into best practices through the stratification of productive capacity and acr for mapping setbacks and productivity bulletins.This improves the predictability of daily and monthly production costs.
