Abstract
Abstract: The constant changes in the agricultural equipment market have brought many challenges to the productive sectors inside the organizations. Once the market is increasingly competitive, the industries lack of efficient working methods and companies seek intensely to adapt themselves to a methodology to assist in the standardization of production processes. The main objective of this work is the application of some tools of Production Engineering to improve the operating times in an assembly sector of a metal mechanical industry. The focus is to establish and to define the guidelines of the used methodology, the so-called ‘Just in time’, to seek the reduction of dead time in the process of the assembly line according to the reality of the companies. Change processes are very conditioned to the environment, the culture of who receives them and leads them. Thus, this project also aims to aid in the maturation of the staff in this cultural aspect, seeking the development of operators in a new operating process.
Highlights
Once Brazil is a developing country, agriculture acts as an important development factor
As this study aims to suggest improvements in the production process in order to reduce the dead time, it is based on the concepts of Production Engineering
With the application of Production Engineering tools, it was decided that each department carries out its real function without interfering in the responsibilities of other areas, working with low stock production, product quality and maximum organization in the industry. These features are great allies in reducing dead times, since they help assemblers in the daily process and add much in the cultural development of each worker. It became clear in this research, the importance of using methodologies of Production Engineering in search of better competitiveness in companies
Summary
Once Brazil is a developing country, agriculture acts as an important development factor. It brings with it some concerns in the industrial area where high costs can often derail the industrial development. The productive sector has not been a disorganized environment with low-educated people for a long time and has gained a strong methodological support, making the company increasingly technically equipped and competitive in the market. When it comes to continuous improvement in machinery and equipment usage, optimization has significance to generate results to industry. Analyzing the perspective of Production Engineering focused on assembly processes, the emphasis happens because of the importance of improving the physical arrangements in order to achieve cost reduction, standardization of processes, operations and, as a result, an increased productivity
