Proposta de redução de resíduos não-orgânicos em frigorífico de aves utilizando a ferramenta 5W2H

Abstract

Poultry meat has gained prominence in the market with a significant growth in consumption, thus its production has been increasing, but when it comes to the production of items or consumer goods one should not forget the generation of waste that slaughterhouses produce and that can affect the environment if disposed of incorrectly and in large volumes. With this in mind it is of utmost importance to know the production process and thus identify the major waste generators, as well as quantify the waste generated daily. Many studies deal with organic waste, leaving aside an important detail, which is the packaging, both primary and secondary. In order to identify and generate improvements in processes, managing them in a correct and concise way, the quality tools were created, which are very useful in organizations. Knowing the great importance of this continuous improvement methodology, the one that was best applied in the study in question was determined, being the 5W2H tool. This tool consists in answering seven questions so that all the basic and essential aspects of a planning are analyzed. Thus, considering the above, the present work aims to quantify the non-organic waste generated daily in a poultry processing plant, with the focus of this work being primary and secondary packaging generated during the product packaging process in three specific sectors, thus being able to propose the reduction of their generation with the help of a quality tool. This way it was possible to determine that one of the biggest causes of disposal of packaging is the leftover, having 32% of occurrence when seen in a general overview, the leftover is caused by excessive packaging orders and very large orders, with the help of the quality tool it was possible to suggest an action of the teams' management on the guidance and training of those responsible for packaging in order to reduce these orders resulting in a significant decrease in disposal. With the monitoring performed during these four months of process it was possible to see how important it is to pay attention to the disposal issue because in this period of time, which is not even half a year, about 45,863 packages were discarded, including primary and secondary.
