This foot sealing area still needs to be improved in many ways, on its productivity, quality and utility. Due to reach the optimal level for each process in foot sealing, there are several wastes that need to be reduced and eliminated. Most of the waste related to unnecessary motion that was done by operators. Changing the process layout and stacking mode are the methods that are being used to handle the problems. Decreasing the work shifts can increase the machines? utility. By reducing those wastes, productivity reach better condition by 7,3% of work time.
