- Abstract
Competitiveness is a preponderant factor for the success of organizations, in which it is necessary to reduce production costs to ensure increased productivity. In this sense, the application of Methods Engineering is indispensable since, continuously companies need to promote improvements in their processes. Given this, the present study aims to simplify the process of data processing related to quality indicators of a company in the automotive sector. The case study seeks to reduce the time taken to carry out the work, for this, it began with the preparation of the process flow chart, to understand the functioning of each of its stages, time to identify the total standard time of the operation. In discussions with the employees of the sector were identified difficulties in the process, then was performed the programming in Excel spreadsheet steps performed manually. Finally, a new flowchart was elaborated and the study of times after the improvement was implemented was carried out again, resulting in a 74% reduction in the number of steps that make up the process, and a 55% reduction in the total standard time of the activity. Thus, from the application of the Methods Engineering tools it was possible to reduce the level of process complexity significantly, allowing the time required for the execution of the activity to also decrease.
