Um estudo de tempos para elaboração do cronograma de produção numa fábrica de pás eólicas

Abstract

This paper discusses the implementation of a time study in one sector of a wind blade factory, with the objective of proposing a production plan, seeking to maximize the use of production time while maintaining quality. The nature of the research done in this paper is applied, with a quantitative approach and technical procedure of case study. Timed cycles were intentional non-probabilistic samples and the way used to observe these cycles was systematic observation in real life. The first step was the division of the job into smaller elements well defined. Then, it was proposed the number of cycles that needed to be measure to be able to standardize time. The next step was to define the allowances to be given in the sector under study. Then, the study was initiated and the time to complete the elements was measured. Also, the pace of work was determined. With all the information collected, the time to complete the elements of the job was standardized as described in the literature. Finally, we proposed a production schedule that meets both the needs of management, as the needs of the worker, contributing to the improvement of working conditions of the company, while maintaining the desired productivity. As a pilot project, the results were approved by the company and the study was expanded to the other sectors.
