In an increasingly competitive scenario, investing in strategies and methodologies that contribute to the health of the business is essential to remain active in the market. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, below we have gathered everything you need about this production model and good practices for applying it in your industry. Check it out!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>After all, what is Lean Manufacturing?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lean Manufacturing (LM) is a lean production methodology developed by Toyota. This method is a direct result of the impacts caused by the Second World War in several factories in Europe and Japan. With the economy destroyed, it was necessary to seek solutions that would overcome this scenario and collaborate with development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, this production model aims to eliminate waste and unnecessary elements. After all, the methodology also aims to <\/span><a href=\"\/?p=14551\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduce costs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The context of the time required a solution that focused only on what was essential for production. Eliminating any type of excess was essential for the health of the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the process of adapting to LM requires attention and patience. The change needs to start in the organizational culture so that the concept becomes part of the business philosophy. Thus, the reduction of what is not necessary will be a consequence of all adoption. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revistaespacios.com\/a17v38n19\/a17v38n19p36.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the implementation of improvements in the textile sector, using Lean Manufacturing, there are 5 basic principles in the methodology. They are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Value:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> here the customer defines the value of the company;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Value Stream:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> refers to the identification of processes that generate and do not generate value (both essential and those that need to be eliminated). The objective is to recognize what is important for maintaining processes and quality;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Flow: <\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">concerns the fluidity and rhythm of the remaining activities;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Pull production:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the connection of processes through a pull system;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Perfection:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">related to the continuous search for improvement with the aim of guiding all the company&#8217;s efforts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the use of just one or more tools will not be enough to guarantee that the implementation of lean production will bring good results. This is because the set of these actions is what contributes to the complete identification of waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Advantages of the concept applied to the textile industry<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lean Manufacturing in the textile industry has an even greater potential to ensure competitiveness in the market, considering that there are more than 24.6 thousand formal production units in the sector across the country, according to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abit.org.br\/cont\/perfil-do-setor\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the great competition in the market requires the textile industry to use resources that contribute to improving productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aceguaratingueta.com.br\/images\/upload\/files\/META-2018_ACEG_Artigo01_Full_DEZ_2018.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that addresses the application of the tool in the textile sector, points out that some benefits have already been proven in certain industries. The main one being the reduction of waste and, consequently, the increase in profit generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Cirino et al. (2013) carried out a study in a Brazilian textile company and based on interviews and systemic observations, they found that the adoption of LM practices provided some advantages to the organization, such as reducing waiting time<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another piece of data analyzed in the article was that, in another company, the application of Lean Manufacturing tools resulted in annual savings of 2 million reais in INR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yet, as stated in the first study discussed above, it is possible to mention some more gains, such as: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduction of movement; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transportation;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Occupied zone;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stock in process.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the authors highlight the increase in the production unit by employees, reaching an increase of 40%. This was due to the unification between the inspection, folding and packaging stages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this reinforces the idea that the concept contributes to the<\/span> <a href=\"\/?p=14562\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">optimization of resources<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and costs, improving quality and productivity.

It is necessary to pay attention to sales that are not level throughout the year;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invest in direct labor;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short life cycle of products (fashion);<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The imported raw material;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct competition with imported products, among others.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering these particularities helps in identifying value and, consequently, in the complete implementation of lean production in the textile industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below we have gathered some good practices to contribute to the adoption of this model in your industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Information collection<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial phase is collecting information to correctly identify the values of each production process. There is no way to evaluate the necessary changes without having data on all activities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, this is the time to collect and carry out real-time measurements of each setup and task timing. The tip here is to record the processes to facilitate documentation and visualization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also collect feedback from operators to understand the bottlenecks and problems that interfere in the process directly from those who understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is, in fact, the first step towards making LM a philosophy in your industry. Involving all employees in the adaptation and implementation processes makes it easier to build a sense of agility, productivity and elimination of <\/span><a href=\"\/?p=18415\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">waste<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Analysis of internal and external setups<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, it is necessary to separate the activities into categories: internal and external setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first concerns activities that are carried out with the machine stopped. While the second refers to those that are carried out with the machines in operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After grouping, it will be necessary to convert internal to external steps as much as possible. To do this, the operator will need access to tools capable of collaborating with activities. The aim is to stimulate machine operation and reduce downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Investment in efficient machines<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you must invest in efficient and quality machinery. The important thing is to have solutions that help reduce time for each activity to ensure productivity and speed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span><a href=\"\/?page_id=16\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delta M\u00e1quinas T\u00eaxteis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has innovative, modern and technological machines in its portfolio, guided by industry 4.0.
