Abstract

Companies often employ strategic tools to refine production processes in pursuing operational excellence. Value stream mapping (VSM), known for its holistic view of workflows, is a popular choice. However, traditional approaches can be time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies. In today’s digital era, innovative solutions have emerged.

dynamic web application aimed at enhancing engineering practices. Using data analysis and machine learning, it uncovers valuable insights and suggests process improvements. A Docker-based virtualisation system was implemented to ensure seamless operation. The application was field-tested at an agricultural equipment company in Brazil. The evaluation identified four promising alternatives for process enhancement, all of which received approval from the company’s engineers. This research underscores the potential of digital tools and decision support systems in enhancing production processes. The dynamic web application, powered by advanced analytics, offers benefits for companies seeking to streamline their production workflows and unlock new avenues for efficiency.
