Descrição
The competition among companies and corporations forces them continually
seek for improvements to achieve and keep place in the market. In the dynamism
of current time, in which big brands are unstable and the cycle of life of their
products are gradually shorter, adapt the production means is becoming a
matter of survival, once the products among competitors are getting more and
more similar, in technology and price as well. The differential consists, therefore,
in production costs, storage, distribution and transport, what it is called
inbound and outbound logistics. The companies, which are able to optimize their
service and produce through lean manufacturer, has the possibility of putting in
the market, in fact short time, new models. To make the costs more competitive,
it was used in this study the Value Flow Mapping in a factory located in
Manaus Industrial Pole, which has the main clients two wheels that automakers
produce in Brazil. This factory works with national and international logistic,
through waterway and road transport, to import raw material and inputs for its
end product. The article about dissertates concepts which base the tool of Value
Flow Mapping, advantages, improvements, besides difficulties for its
implantation and necessary steps for its use. The main goal of this study is to
sustain the process of continuing improvement, focused on Lean
Production. The methodology used was the case study. The result it will reached
the productive process leaner and, therefore, more competitive for global market
