Abstract
Industries involved in machining processes need to increase their competitiveness to adequately meet the market demand, i.e. better quality of their final products and a more efficient machining process. There are some industries that prefer to work with the managers of machining tools in order to control the costs of the proceedings. However, the authors of this article have the opinion that it is essential to have professionals hired directly by the company to play the role of improvements introducer to the machining process. So, following this procedure, this paper proposes the use of the Six Sigma methodology to the management and stratification of the consumption and tool breakage during the machining process. Thus, the DMAIC method was used. By providing data collection during research in the areas of factory production, causes of tool breakage were identified. With this information were initiated actions seeking process improvements and also attempting to define new ideal conditions, both of machine tools, as tools. The result showed that it was possible to propose a model for controlling the tool breakage and, undoubtedly, contribute to reducing costs and increasing productivity.
