Análise e prosposta de melhoria de layout em uma recicladora de Dourados-MS

Abstract

The constant changes in the market have increased the competitiveness between companies and there is an increasing need to seek more optimized processes with the least amount of waste and at the lowest possible cost. In this context, the industrial layout is an important factor, considering that the provisions of equipment, people and materials directly influence the production efficiency. In this way, the main objective of this work is to develop a layout improvement proposal to improve the production system and reduce losses through the principles of lean production. For this purpose, a SPL method (Method of Systematic Planning of Physical Arrangement) was applied to analyze the layout of a recycler in the city of Dourados, and consequent elaboration of a more adequate physical arrangement proposal, which presented improvements in the process. The results showed that the proposed changes are able to reduce the distances covered by the final product and to organize the flow of materials in order to give sequencing in the manufacturing process.
