Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to define a method for sustain lean tools and philosophies on a manufacturing environment.

Design/methodology/approach

An in-depth action research (AR) methodology procedures applied in two cycles were conducted in an automobile company located in southeastern Brazil. The objective is to test the applicability of the shop floor management (SFM) implementation model as presented by Hanenkamp (2013).

Findings

The SFM model presented by Hanenkamp (2013) has been outlined, detailed and applied in practice. Opportunities for improvement during the application process of this model were verified by changes in its steps. After developing the AR, the authors have shown that the SFM model, as proposed in this paper, can indeed assist managers in applying and maintaining lean manufacturing practices on the shop floor.

Originality/value

This paper contributes by aiding in filling the gap between practical applications and the sustainability of lean manufacturing concepts and solutions. Furthermore, the guidelines introduced serve as a benchmark for other companies interested in the topic.

运用车间管理方法维持精益制造工具和理念的方法论：对巴西一家汽车公司的研究

目的

本文的目的是定义一种在制造环境中维持精益工具和理念的方法。

设计/方法/方法

在位于巴西东南部的一家汽车公司中，进行了两个周期的深入行动研究（AR）方法学程序。目的是测试Hanenkamp（2013）提出的车间管理（SFM）实施模型的适用性。

发现

Hanenkamp（2013）提出的SFM模型已概述，详细介绍并在实践中应用。通过更改模型步骤，可以验证该模型在应用过程中的改进机会。开发完AR后，作者已经证明，本文提出的SFM模型确实可以帮助经理在车间应用和维护精益生产实践。

创意/价值

本文通过帮助填补实际应用与精益制造概念和解决方案的可持续性之间的差距做出了贡献。此外，引入的指南可作为对该主题感兴趣的其他公司的基准。
