● Commissioning of 2 large production lines (decorative chromium plating), 1 waste water treatment plant, 1 water reuse unit, 1 chemical lab for process control and 1 chemical warehouse. Investment of 15 million USD.● Specification of production process recipes for more than 150 products in the new lines, monitoring of production tests, definition of control batches, inspection methods and frequencies, quality validation and cyclical revisions to increase productivity.● Definition of sampling protocols and lab routines, and standardization of corrective actions by operators.● Installation of automatic analyzer to manage the more frequent samples, reducing from 2 to 1 analyst per shift.● Reduction of industrial water consumption in production lines, with 1 leader per shift in charge of controlling consumption points 2 times per shift, reducing water consumption by more than 50%.● Adequation of the management practices of the new lines to the standards of the quality management system and autonomous maintenance program (TPM).● Operational implementation of ISO 14001 throughout the factory, adequacy of processes and controls, regularization of facilities, general training of direct labor and controls for handling chemical products.● Implementation of milk-run system for transporting parts between production sectors, reducing transport time, reducing intermediate inventories and increasing productivity (earnings > 500 kBRL/year);● Reduced defect/rework rate of new lines from 15 to < 3%. Creation of a defect/rework routine with automatic processing to classify production defects by product and by defect type (more than 150 types of product and more than 20 types of chrome defects per product). Daily verification of the main 10 defects with the operators in charge, classified by the products with the highest occurrence, with immediate corrective actions.

• Metal finishing processes (polishing, buffing and plating);• Reuse of raw material – reprocessing of plastics;
