Elaboração e implementação de instruções de trabalho em indústria de moagem de trigo

Abstract

In a food industry, there are countless possible variables that may occur, such as unforeseen events in the production machines, wrong dosage of raw materials, temperature interference in the entire process, care with the hygiene of the place, among others. Wheat milling to obtain flour is influenced by deviations from the wheat received, which goes through several stages and interferences in its cultivation, that is, the form and place in which it was planted, the climate of the environment, the amount of rain received, and other factors that will modify its composition. During the milling process, it is possible to produce purer flours or flours with more husk residues, in which the product will be influenced by the specificities of that flour. Industries that keep their processes organized and standardized gain a quality differential and better functional performances. Thus, the standardization of these procedures becomes necessary for a better production flow, as well as a better general organization of the company in question. The objective of the present work was to implement work instructions in all sectors of a wheat milling industry located in the municipality of Pato Branco - PR. Firstly, a mapping of the activities in the industry in question was carried out, and later the instructions were elaborated and then the employees involved were trained. Through the implementation of the instructions in the company, it was possible to obtain greater control of the steps to be performed and better daily results, minimizing the occurrence of errors in routine tasks and better management of functions.
