Proposta de melhoria do arranjo físico de uma linha de produção de uma metalúrgica

Abstract

This article approaches the problem of improving the physical arrangement in a factory wire cages for the creation of birds and hamsters. At first, it is made a theoretical review about the topic and then presents the situation of the comppany´s production process, which accentuates the need for improving productivity through a rearrangement of the layout. Depending on the characteristics of the production process of the company, was chosen slp technique (sistematic layout planning) to developing a new physical arrangement. The steps of the slp are presented and applied, which resulted in the proposed new layout. With the new physical arrangement, the distance covered will be reduced by 30.81 meters, thus contributing to improved productivity.
