Abstract

Lean Manufacturing is a production strategy applied in companies of different segments. Its main goal is to minimize waste in order to maximize profit. The transition to this stage, however, is not easy and many barriers are faced to achieve the aforementioned goals. In this trajectory, companies will present different stages of maturity and the measurement of this maturity becomes important. Based on the information mentioned, this article aims to identify which are the main metrics used by Brazilian companies in assessing the maturity of lean systems. Metrics used in lean projects were listed from the literature and information about their application was collected from 43 professionals who participated in a survey. Respondents outliers were identified from the Multidimensional Scheduling (MDS) and, subsequently, the metrics were ordered via a mechanism used by SPSS software for linear combination of variables, used in Exploratory Factor Analysis. The results showed that the most applied metrics are related to employee productivity, number of consumer complaints, setup time, lead times and stock index. The results from this study may be used by other researchers in their future research.
