Análise e proposta de melhoria no layout do setor de fabricação de picolé de uma fábrica alimentícia na cidade de Arapiraca – AL

Abstract

Today, companies are becoming increasingly competitive, and those with the highest development and the lowest costs are able to stand out in the market. The work was carried out in a food company located in Arapiraca - Alagoas. The purpose of this study was to analyze a specific sector of this company, realize its main waste and propose a layout improvement. Through a case study, it was possible to perform data collection as well as a study of times and methods, where it was possible to analyze the functionality of each resource, as well as its influence on future operations, and thus identify the bottleneck and possible waste to think of solutions to mitigate such existing problems. As a result, it was possible to highlight the increase in production capacity and, consequently, a positive financial impact that the company would obtain if the proposal were implemented. Thus, the work proved satisfactory and relevant for the improvement of the productive processes in the analyzed sector of the company.
