The market over time has been increasingly polarized, because of this for companies to conquer and ensure their market share amidst so many other organizations in the same segment, direct competition and indirect competition, or even similar niches, companies must always keep up to date and competitive, either through quality above average, more attractive prices, social and environmental responsibility, or even in differentiated customer service. However, for productivity to be achieved, it is necessary to have a thorough study, to use efficient and continuous methods, therefore, it is the best option, so that the data obtained are able to present a mapping of processes, identify waste and movements that do not have added value to the customer, so that improvements are often presented. This paper aims to analyze and describe the binding process that imprecisely, causes its waste of inputs, so that it harms the environment and slows down the productivity of the company surveyed. Throughout this paper will be described the process of implementation of the continuous improvement system in the researched company known as Kaizen and presented the impacts generated, such as cost reduction, labor and production time. It was discussed before and after the implementation of Kaizen, based not only on data and operational reports of information from the company EJL, but also on literature searches in books, articles and websites related to the theme.
