Aplicabilidade da produção enxuta e sustentável nas indústrias de cosméticos e saneantes no Estado de Goiás

Abstract

The chemical industries of sanitizers and toiletries, perfumery and cosmetics (HPPC) have shown considerable growth associated with the increase of purchasing power and demand of the population. The terms Lean Production (PE) and Environmental Management have been increasingly inserted in the market. As a result, companies have been investing in the inclusion of environmental management in business plans, resulting in continuous improvement of processes, identifying and eliminating waste, as well as significantly reducing the generation of waste, energy and raw materials, resulting in sustainable productive returns. This research approaches environmental practices in sanitation and HPPC companies in the state of Goiás through concepts of lean production, green manufacture and analysis of management practices to reduce environmental impacts, highlighting their tools and principles, with the objective of verifying the benefits and losses of the combination of both practices. For this, the data collection was obtained by survey and the subsequent statistical analysis of the same. In this way, we verified the existence of correlations between the theory of lean and sustainable production. The results show that the aspects of good practices of lean production have a strong correlation with each other, and when associated to the environmental performance aspects they present a moderate correlation, allowing to conclude that productivity is still prioritized in relation to sustainability
