Proposta de planejamento e controle da produção de tintas e revestimentos: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Production planning and control (PPC) is an essential activity for the efficient management of an industrial production processes. The PPC aims to ensure optimal utilization of available resources, preventing waste, delays, stoppages, and rework. Additionally, PPC contributes to product quality, customer satisfaction and the company's market competitiveness. Many companies are adopting production planning and control strategies, targeting optimizations in time, inventory, and production. In this context, a contact was established with a paint and coating production company located in Francisco Beltrão, with the objective of conducting a study on processes and from that make a proposal of production planning and control. To achieve this, a literature review was conducted on PPC concepts and tools, such as demand forecasting, production scheduling, inventory control, production capacity and performance indicators. This study utilized primary and secondary data gathered during exploratory visits and relevant literature. As a result of the analyses, it was proposed to employ techniques for demand forecasting, adopt more adaptable production scheduling methods, reduce inventory levels, enhance material turnover, and appropriately size production capacity. Subsequently, based on the obtained data, a model for the management of purchase and production orders was developed, aiming to guide the organization toward a more efficient production process. Finally, the conclusions of the work are presented, highlighting the main theoretical and practical contributions of the study, research limitations, and suggestions for future work.
