Estudo do sequenciamento da produção em uma indústria de meias utilizando um software APS

Abstract

The present work aims to study the production sequencing in a socks factory in the city of Juiz de Fora - MG, attesting the possibility of generating a more efficient schedule and obtaining increased utilization of the productive resources available, using as support tool, an APS software called Preactor. The study was conducted, firstly, by factory visits to understand how it works and obtain the necessary data. Then there was a phase of analysis, selection and organization of the information, as to prepare it for modeling the problem on the software. The next step was to register te resource, product and production orders information on Preactor and sequence orders, using three different rules. Based on these results, quantitative analysis of the lead, wait, processing, down, setup and antecipation timesvwere made. Subjective factor that could influence the results were also analyzed. Finally, it was observed that there rather is a possibility to increas the efficiency of the company's current form of sequencing, even without acquiring the software used in this work.
