Abstract

The article focuses on improving the productivity of Imporfactory Cia Ltda, a company dedicated to the production of cleaning products. To achieve this, the 9S methodology is applied and the 7 wastes are eliminated, based on the principles of lean manufacturing. The research focuses on identifying problems in the production line and implementing improvement actions involving Lean Manufacturing 9S and the 7 wastes. The proposed methodology consists of three phases: preparation, execution, and integration. It is supported by a literature review that demonstrates the effectiveness of these practices in waste reduction, process optimization, and innovation promotion. An action research approach is used to analyze the current situation and establish necessary improvement actions. By implementing this methodology, notable results were obtained at Imporfactory Cia Ltda. There was a 35% increase in productivity, along with significant improvements in operational efficiency, driven by a 28% increase in production speed. This acceleration led to increased worker confidence and a reduction in accidents, thanks to safer and more reliable workspace management. In conclusion, the application of the 9S methodology and the elimination of the 7 wastes proved to be effective in improving productivity at Imporfactory Cia Ltda, suggesting that these practices could be beneficial for other companies in the cleaning products industry
