ANALYSIS OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF FOAM AND ITS VARIABLES

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze and raise the problems reported by various sectors of the company in the manufacture of rollers and foam blocks. Factors such as problems related to quality, variation in size and quality of the equipment were observed, using the tools CEP (statistical process control) and control charts. The production process of cylindrical rollers and foam blocks was monitored, verifying the activities that must be carried out in the manufacturing process and in the use of foam in semi-finished and final products. By collecting the possible information, it was possible to make an analysis of the production process as a whole, examining the possible variances related to the consumption of raw material, labor, manufacturing procedures, facilities, machinery and tools, and also measure how these variables impact on the quality of the product in a production line to order. In the end, it was found that the Flex machine was the greatest difficulty found, because it does not have an effective control in the operation system and it can also be concluded, in relation to the statistical control of the process, that most of the samples collected are within the final height parameter.
