Estudo do processo produtivo de uma unidade beneficiadora de grãos em Dourados - MS

Abstract

Companies that wish to remain competitive in the market must seek constant improvements in their production systems in order to increase the efficiency of their operations. With this in mind, the present work aimed to map the production process and study the physical arrangement of a soybean and corn grain storage unit, located in the city of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. Its methodological classification places it as exploratory research of an applied nature with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The study was based on bibliographical research and is framed as a case study. Observation and data collection made it possible to map the macro processes of loading and receiving grains, with the help of the Bizagi Modeler software. In the end, it was possible to identify two difficulties faced by the company, the first related to the operator's travel time during the grain classification process, and the second, to the lack of clarity in the flow. The application of the cause and effect diagram and 5W1H tools made it possible to identify the root causes of problems as well as develop action plans to mitigate them.
