Aplicação da teoria das restrições no sistema produtivo de uma empresa de nutrição animal

Abstract

The Theory of Constraints began in the mid-1970s, revolutionizing manufacturing in different countries such as the United States, Israel and the Netherlands, in the Brazilian scenario the diffusion of this methodology is not yet sufficiently developed. The Theory of Constraints starts from the study of resources that cover the entire flow of the production process in order to quantify them and elevate them to improve the efficiency of the process. The work was carried out in a poultry company, in the unit of a feed factory, the company provides poultry ration for its members, emphasizing the quality and reliability of the product, since the product of the cycle is the chicken meat. The research is exploratory with a qualitative approach, which focused on the case study, follow the steps of the productive flow, as well as the consultation of the daily controls of production, to identify and analyze the product that has the greatest demand. After checking the highest production product, the equipment times were timed during its work cycle for each batch, followed by the start to the end of the process, in order to visualize the resource that restricts the production. From the results expected to be achieved through its application is the objective of this research to conceptualize OCD and its origin, as well as to demonstrate the steps that make up its application, and after determined the slower resource of the process concentrate efforts to subordinate the system in relation to it, and increase its capacity, ensuring the maximum use of its available time.
