Proposta de melhoria no planejamento e controle com base no MRP: estudo de caso em uma indústria de alimentos

Abstract

In Brazil, the food sector is responsible for almost 15% of industrial sector revenues and employs over one million people, managing to follow international trends in the production area. Companies in the sector are technologically stabilized, they are known to compete, especially in terms of costs and good management practices focused on specific niche markets in which they operate. In addition, to stay consolidated, companies must have a well-structured Production Planning and Control to ensure good performance, efficiency and productivity, and include all levels of planning, be they strategic, tactical and the operational one. This paper reflects the need for Company X to restructure MRP for later deployment of MRP II. The restructuring process was based on the project structure proposed by PMBOK and the suggested method for MRP II implementation is hybrid, in the other words, there is a junction of concepts from the agile SCRUM methodology and Corrêa, Gianesi and Caon (2012), based on In the PMBOK guide.
