Abstract

Apply the Value Stream Map to increase the efficiency of the service process in a UBS in the city of Toledo in Paraná. Applied research was classified as field research, due to on-site investigation and data collection. The steps for conducting the Value Stream Map were based on Rother and Shook (2012). Using lean principles, a reduction of 37 minutes in lead time and a 54.7% reduction in the processing time of the appointment scheduling process at the health unit was envisaged. A pesquisa demonstra a efetividade na utilização dos princípios lean na área de serviços com a redução ou eliminação dos desperdícios do processo. The research shows that processing waste is often omitted throughout the process, resulting in increased costs and dissatisfaction among system users.
