The project reported here is based on the design and training for the implementation of an organizational and improvement model called Kanban. In an automotive products company, the Kanban Card System was implemented, in order to speed up the process to facilitate: both tooling management and control of production cells. Since the use of Kanban is widely known for production material management, this article shows the Kanban-Tooling Card System that was used to manage the use of the tooling in assembly (set-up) required for 55 different product models, worked on various production cells. One of the longest assemble times cell was selected in order to replicate the results, after implementation of changes, to other cells with shorter assemble times. Set-up times were taken into account and after the Kanban-Tooling System was implemented. Statistical analysis of such times indicates that a significant reduction was achieved.

Keywords : Training; Kanban; tooling; manufacturing cells; automotive industry.
