Otimização do arranjo físico no processo produtivo de uma indústria moveleira no Oeste do Paraná

Abstract

The furniture sector in Brazil has stood out in front of other supply chains in recent years and shows through high growth with a substantial increase in productivity. With the demands of the market, growing concern of entrepreneurs in the industrial sector in manufacture innovative and quality products to meet adequately the needs of customers. In this context, this research and development work aims to evaluate the layout of the furniture industry in the west of Paraná and demonstrate through of the tool Systematic Layout Planning (SLP), a proposal to diagnose optimization opportunities, restructuring and disposition of the available area. From the collection of information and analysis made during the study, it is noted that no previous assessment was conducted to prepare the system initially, that is, the plant requires real changes in environmental physical condition to reduce failures in the system, minimize the flow and facilitate the movement of staff, equipment and products. With the structure of the scenario, the appropriate application tool to the characteristics and based on the proposal suggested by the owner after the renovation, were created two new relevant options to solve the layout disposal of the process. An organized workplace, with simple adjustments and without any obstruction, can optimize the process, facilitate the routine of the employees and also helps to increase productivity and plant efficiency. In theory problems can be minimized with the suggestions developed, but the expectation is that the choice of one of the environmental distribution options brings positive results when accepted by the owner and implemented effectively by the partner company.
