This study aimed to increase the productivity of the glazing process in a glass company by eliminating waste (defects, inventory, over-processing, waiting and unnecessary movements) through 5S and SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) implementation. An SME (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) dedicated to the manufacture of bodywork and architectural glass was chosen, which at the beginning of the research had a productivity of 0.88 HH/und. The research methodology was based on the DMAIC methodology (define, measure, analyze, implement, control) and included data collection techniques, process analysis and review of indicators. The results showed a 51.24% increase in the productivity of the enameling process, confirming that the tools used were able to eliminate activities that consume resources and do not add value to the process. The findings of this research are relevant for managers of small and medium-sized enterprises, since they provide them with useful information for making decisions related to the investment and allocation of resources aimed at increasing the productivity of their own processes.  One of the limitations is based on the economic budget available for the implementation of the project, since other tools and techniques are known to be more expensive. Successful implementation of 5S may require financial, time and personnel resources, and if the organization does not allocate sufficient resources to carry out the project, it is likely to face obstacles along the way.
