Resumo
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) é uma estratégia de melhoria contínua usada para aumentar a eficiência e eficácia dos processos produtivos a partir da eliminação de desperdícios e redução da sua variabilidade. Embora existam pesquisas sobre esta metodologia em empresas do setor manufatureiro, poucos estudos são direcionados para a sua aplicação no setor calçadista. Pelo exposto, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste em diretrizes para implementação do LSS em Micro, Pequenas e Médias Empresas (MPME’s) de calçados. Para direcionar a realização de oito estudos de casos em MPME’s calçadistas foram identificados na literatura cientifica os princípios do LSS e verificada a sua aplicação na realidade das empresas estudadas. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados para estes estudos de caso foram entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores e colaboradores, análise documental e visita in loco. Na análise dos casos foi identificado que as empresas, embora não utilizem o LSS, possuem práticas que podem facilitar sua implementação, assim como há dificuldades que precisam ser superadas para que implementação possa ocorrer de forma eficaz. Tais possibilidades e dificuldades se constituíram como a base das diretrizes elaboradas para implementação do LSS em MPME’s. Os princípios do LSS verificados nas MPME’s de calçados foram: desenvolver e manter uma filosofia de longo prazo, focar no cliente, desenvolver líderes, desenvolver pessoas e equipes profissionais, desafiar e respeitar a rede de parceiros e fornecedores, criar a cultura da melhoria contínua, utilizar ferramentas do LSS, utilizar sistemas puxados (JIT), focar na perfeição de produtos, processos e serviços, eliminar desperdícios e reduzir variabilidade. Esta pesquisa contribui para preencher a lacuna na literatura em relação à propostas de implementação do LSS em MPME’s de calçados (contribuição científica) e permite aos empresários do setor identificar práticas que favoreçam a melhoria da gestão dos processos de suas empresas (contribuição aplicada).
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a continuous improvement methodology used to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of production processes by eliminating waste and reducing its variability. Although there are researches on this methodology in companies of the manufacturing sector, few studies are directed to its application in the footwear sector. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to propose guidelines for the implementation of LSS in micro, small and medium enterprises of footwear. In order to direct the accomplishment of eight case studies in footwear MSMEs, the principles of LSS were identified in the scientific literature, verified in the reality of the companies studied. The instruments of data collection for these case studies were semi-structured interviews with managers and collaborators, documentary analysis and on-site visit. In the analysis of the cases it was identified that the companies, although they do not use the LSS, have practices that can facilitate their implementation. As well as there are difficulties that need to be overcome so that implementation can take place effectively. These possibilities and difficulties were the basis of the guidelines developed for the implementation of LSS in MSMEs. The LSS principles found in MSMEs for footwear were: to develop and maintain a long-term philosophy, focus on the customer, develop leaders, develop people and professional teams, challenge and respect the network of partners and suppliers, create a culture of continuous improvement, Use LSS tools, pull systems (JIT), focus on the perfection of products, processes and services, eliminate waste and reduce variability. This research contributes to fill the gap in the literature regarding the lack of proposals for the implementation of LSS in MSMEs of footwear (scientific contribution) and allows entrepreneurs in the industry to identify practices that favor the improvement of the management of their companies' processes (applied contribution).
