Gestão de produção: análise da ferramenta Jidoka na produção de uma empresa fabricante de cosméticos e saneantes

Abstract

Modern production management constantly seeks to increase efficiency and quality through methodologies that integrate people, processes, and technology. Among these tools, Jidoka stands out as one of the pillars of the Toyota Production System, introducing intelligent automation and the ability to stop production whenever an abnormality occurs. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Jidoka tool in the production process of a cosmetics and sanitizing products manufacturer, identifying its impacts on product quality, waste reduction, and operational efficiency. The research is applied, with a qualitative approach and an exploratory and descriptive character, based on bibliographic and documentary methods. The expected results indicate that the adoption of Jidoka contributes to strengthening the quality culture, improving the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) indicator, and reducing rework, while fostering an organizational culture oriented toward continuous improvement and empowering operators to act proactively in problem-solving.
