Proposta de re-layout em uma indústria do setor de metais sanitários

Abstract

Nowadays, it is a fact that the high competitiveness between the companies demands more and more improvement in the techniques of production. In light of this, the appropriate physical arrangement becomes a great ally to get ahead in this dispute. With an eye to cost reduction, customer response time, and quality improvement, companies increasingly seek to continuously improve the layout of their industrial plant, bringing benefits such as the elimination of bottlenecks, accessibility, efficient flows and the best use of resources within the production process. Thus, the present work aims to present a proposal to improve the layout of a metalworking company using the SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) system as a tool, in order to reduce the general flow of material and time production. The result of the case study was satisfactory, since it indicated opportunities for improvements in the flow of materials, sizing of machinery and equipment, shortening of production time and better utilization of the factory facility.
