Cronoanálise: estudo de caso em uma indústria metal mecânica

Abstract

The growing representativeness of agribusiness in the Brazilian GDP increases the need for companies in the agricultural sector to adapt to deliver products that meet the requirements of their customers. This paper presents a study on the implementation of productive capacity controls in a company of agricultural implements, using the tools of industrial chronoanalysis to analyze the production process of welding, timing, evaluating productive sequences, and available resources. These analyses showed us which is the best methodology for the welding process of the crankshafts and also determined the standard time of 72 minutes for the front crankshaft and 83.4 minutes for the rear crankshaft. Considering the tolerances designed by the company and also the tolerances of physical effort, mental, visual and environmental conditions. Comparing the previous time with the time after the implementation of the chronoanalysis one can see a time reduction of twelve percent for each crane.
