Análise do processo produtivo e proposta de melhorias no arranjo físico e no processo produtivo de uma indústria de mosaicos: um estudo de caso

Abstract

This work aims to analyze, through computer simulation techniques, the production process of a mosaic industry. The objective is also through the systemic view obtained from computer simulation to propose a new physical arrangement for company, which could best fit to the main processes involved in manufacturing. The model dynamic, discrete and stochastic has been implemented in simulation software Arena®. As a comparison between the data obtained from the system and generated by the model was selected variable NMP (Number of Mosaics Produced). It was observed that during the simulation the modification of the physical arrangement of the industry would not provide significant gains in production time, but it has been shown that the use of another worker to serve the sectors of assembling and gluing reduces the process time of approximately 2h30min. It was proposed a new configuration in the physical arrangement of the industry and the process under study to reduce transport times, mainly of stones, and avoid the crossings during the processes.
