Análise e otimização do sistema produtivo através do mapeamento e processos, modelagem e simulação computacional: estudo de caso aplicado em uma indústria cerâmica Monografia

Abstract

In the last decade, the intensification of competitiveness in the market drives companies to return their focus to the improvement of the productive and company policy, thus seeking to ensure competitive advantage. The main objective of this essay is to analyze the production system of a ceramic industry located in Sao Luis, MA and perform the production processes mapping with the application of the study of time and motion linked to computer simulation, to perform an optimization plan. The monograph presents an exploratory applied research from the case study. With the analyzes of the production flow and identification of the causes of efficiency loss, one can use computer simulation tool to identify relationships between processes and creating a optimization plan for key processes in the production system. Having said, there are two restrictions in the system: the cutting machine and the side B oven. Therefore, the identification of the bottlenecks was possible by concentrating efforts and investments in relevant sites, making the company more competitive
