L’obiettivo principale del corrente elaborato di tesi è presentare come la filosofia lean e i suoi strumenti conducano ad un progressivo miglioramento delle attività aziendali all’interno dell’impresa Ferretto Group S.p.a. Ferretto Group, azienda esperta nella realizzazione di sistemi di magazzinaggio automatizzati, sta accompagnando il suo percorso di continua crescita con un progetto di ridefinizione dell’intero stabilimento allo scopo di incrementare progressivamente la capacità produttiva riguardante i magazzini automatici verticali, attualmente core product dell’azienda vicentina. Il management aziendale ha individuato la filosofia lean come l’approccio più adatto a supportare e coordinare tale fase di cambiamento. Il seguente elaborato ha dunque lo scopo di presentare i principali strumenti di miglioramento e dimostrare quantitativamente e qualitativamente i benefici effettivamente ottenibili da tali metodologie che abbracciano il pensiero snello. In particolare, viene presentata l’implementazione della metodologia 5S a supporto del re-layout di due stazioni produttive, al fine di favorire l’ordine, la pulizia e la sicurezza delle stazioni di lavoro aumentando di conseguenza l’efficienza produttiva. La riorganizzazione delle aree è stata focalizzata principalmente sulla ricerca e successiva riduzione, o eventuale eliminazione, degli sprechi. Per quantificare il miglioramento è stata di fondamentale importanza la rilevazione dei tempi e dei metodi svolta all’interno del reparto produttivo, la quale ha permesso l’elaborazione di diversi indicatori utili al monitoraggio della produzione. Il risultato più evidente è la riduzione del tempo ciclo dei processi produttivi analizzati, traducibile in un incremento della produttività delle stazioni interessate. Un secondo aspetto caratterizzante questa prima fase di cambiamento in Ferretto Group è stato l’alto coinvolgimento e la sensibilizzazione del personale nelle attività di miglioramento, permettendo un progressivo diffondersi della filosofia snella primariamente nel reparto produttivo per poi espandersi in tutta la cultura aziendale.

Abstract
The main objective of the current thesis is to present how lean philosophy and its tools lead to a progressive improvement of business activities within the company Ferretto Group S.p.a. Ferretto Group, expert in the realization of automated storage systems, is accompanying its path of continuous growth with a redefinition project of the entire plant in order to progressively increase the production capacity regarding the automatic vertical warehouses, currently core product of the Vicenza-based company. The company management has identified the lean philosophy as the most suitable approach to support and coordinate this phase of change. The following project is therefore intended to present the main tools for improvement and demonstrate quantitatively and qualitatively the benefits actually obtainable from these methodologies that embrace lean thinking. In particular, the implementation of the 5S methodology is presented to support the re-layout of two production stations, in order to facilitate the order, cleaning and safety of the workstations, thereby increasing production efficiency. The reorganization of areas has been focused mainly on research and subsequent reduction, or eventual elimination, of waste. In order to quantify the improvement, it has been of fundamental importance the recording of the times and the methods carried out inside the productive unit, which has allowed the elaboration of various useful indicators to the monitoring of the production. The most obvious result is the reduction of the cycle time of the analyzed production processes, which translates into an increase in the productivity of the stations concerned. A second aspect characterizing this first phase of change at Ferretto Group was the high involvement and awareness of staff in improvement activities, allowing a progressive spread of lean philosophy primarily in the production department and then expand throughout the corporate culture.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
