Análise e proposta de um novo arranjo físico para um atelier: estudo de caso na cidade de Delmiro Gouveia – AL

Abstract

The choice of a correct layout tends to contribute to a significant increase in productivity, but often turns out to be neglected. Such growth is due to the direct relationship between the appearance of the physical arrangement adopted in production and the way resources flow through operations. The city of Delmiro Gouveia is composed of, in about, five ateliers in distinct regions of the city. In this context, the present research aims to propose a physical arrangement for a small sewing studio that makes school and professional uniforms located in the city of Delmiro Gouveia, AL. for this the characterization of the research, the study of the layout and the comparison with the current and proposed layouts were made. It was verified that 6.27% of the total area of the enterprise is spent with poorly designed areas. It was also found that approximately 1/4 of the available area is used for production and 10% for stocking raw materials, the other areas being used for the sale and circulation of people. The proposed layout increases the distance by 1.84% between the 'Costumer Service' and the “Dressmaking” sectors. For the other sectors, the distances have either remained the same or reduced. The largest reduction was 71% in the distances between the workstations 'Table of pass' and the 'Stock of finished products. It can be concluded that the layout proposed in this work using AutoCAD contributes to effective improvements in the studio object of study. The proposed new areas were one of the measures that brought better and more adequate use of space.
