Melhoria de layout em uma indústria de embalagens por meio do método SLP

Abstract

This paper emphasizes the growing concern of organizations to optimize internal processes and eliminate activities that do not add value. In this regard, the arrangement of transforming machines and equipment exerts a great influence, being able to collaborate or compromise the competitiveness of the company. Thus, this study addresses the structured application of the established Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method in the elaboration of a model for partial rearrangement of the layout of a flexible packaging industry. It also presents the elaboration of an equation - called Evaluative Equation - whose purpose is to quantitatively evaluate the improvement obtained when comparing the current situation in relation to the proposed layout. Such analyzes revealed that the proposed model could provide a 42% improvement in the efficiency of the routes and internal displacements, thus increasing the competitiveness of the company in question.
