Evaluating and improving productivity in the welding process in the manufacturing industry is a great challenge for factory engineering personnel and managers. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to reduce the movement of welders during the manufacture and welding of a chassis of agricultural machines through layout analysis and process flow chart. The object of this study was defined as the workstation with the lowest productivity index, from this definition, proposals were created for new layout and process flow chart applying the spaghetti diagram tool that made it possible to understand current scenario related to movements, intersections of paths, distances traveled and physical arrangement of all components that make up a workstation, required during the work cycle. These analyzes and applications have resulted in a new definition of the labor qualification level for welders in the workstation, as well as a 12% reduction in the area occupied and 22% reduction in the distance traveled. Simply put, it proved to be a useful tool for these analyzes.
