Análise das atividades de Planejamento e Controle da Produção (PCP) em uma indústria de nutrição animal

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the activities of Production Planning and Control in an animal nutrition industry. Thus, for this study to become feasible, a literature study was made with also scientific study papers and monographs on the topic presented. Then in March 2015, so that this research characterized as a case study could be conducted, it was made a collect, processing and analysis of the data base of the company. Later, spreadsheets were prepared on the proposed tools, facilitating the visualization, analysis and understanding of the results. From the results, it was found that only one family of product, fish feed, represented more than 90% of company revenues over the 5 last years, being classified according to ABC curve as Class A. Therefore, this case study concentrated more specifically in fish feed, since, they have a higher representation of the gross organization. It was still found through analysis of the sales charts, that the demand for fish feed presents tendency and seasonality in their time series, given that the model Exponential Smoothing with tendency and seasonality (Additive Method) had the lowest error prediction. It is noteworthy that the demand forecast is the basis for the preparation of the Production Plan, Master Production and Issuance of Orders (purchasing, manufacturing and assembly), being considered a very important tool for planning. Finally, it can be said that the implementation of the tools proposed in this study is feasible for any kind of company, since only with the use of Excel software, such activities can be developed, showing no great complexity or initial deployment costs .
