With the increasing competitiveness in the market and the constant development of technologies, today companies are constantly improving, the managers' concern is to achieve maximum process productivity with minimum losses and waste, thus reducing the value to the maximum. aggregate to the product and taking considerable profit margins from sales, so it is of paramount importance to have a lean production process, with well-balanced production times, a minimal amount of work in process and especially a minimal amount of labor , which has very high costs that generates added value directly in the product. In this study was applied the methodology, observation, quantitative and deductive based on theoretical references in order to maximize the efficiency of the production process, through the use of some Lean methods and quality tools as a way of discourse for process improvement also applying process balancing with the primary purpose of reducing the amount of direct labor. Thus the present study presented satisfactory results increasing the efficiency of the microwave oven production line, with the reduction of a direct operator, bringing a leaner and more efficient process.
