Inovações Processuais E Redesenho De Arranjo Físico: Análise De Uma Indústria Frigorífica Localizada No Sul Da Bahia

This research was conducted in a company that has a small scale artisanal production of fresh sausage, located in the city of Ilhéus, in the state of Bahia. The objective of this research is to analyze the current production of artisanal fresh sausage, to make a demand forecast of this product, from there, to use a physical arrangement study method to elaborate a new layout with a productive capacity that supports the demand forecast and the inclusion of new products. This study sought a broader approach using a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques to obtain a demand forecast and an ideal proposed physical arrangement. To validate the results obtained, the Arena® simulation software was used, which simulated the current physical arrangement and the proposed physical arrangement for an analysis of its results, identifying the need for improvements in the cutting and embedding process and an expansion of the productive capacity. Thus, it was possible to understand the production process of artisanal fresh sausage, reduce the process time by approximately 4 hours less, identify a forecast of growing demand, and identify the production and material flows, the areas needed for work grouping. , the relationship between the work sectors, the best production flow, an ideal physical arrangement of 102.43 m2 and finally a validation of an optimal production scenario. Therefore, this paper works as a proposal of physical arrangement within the design of industrial facilities in the expansion of sausage production, based on the demand forecasting study, besides favoring the potentialization of production capacity, making it more flexible, reducing costs aiming for a more profitable work environment.
