Análise e proposta de estruturação para o setor de planejamento e controle da produção em uma fábrica de esquadrias de alumínio

Abstract

Production Planning and Control acts as an integrating agent for other departments in a company, in addition to being an indispensable tool for obtaining better results in the production process, focusing on reducing costs and increasing productivity and efficiency. In the context of PCP operations, this case study was developed in a company that produces aluminum frames in the state of Paraíba. Its objective was to structure the PCP sector, given its fragility and lack of systematicity in the company's current organizational structure. For the development of the four functions—strategic production planning, master production planning, production scheduling, and production control— solutions and improvements were proposed, such as the analysis of long-term planning, creation of medium-term planning, effective use of production orders for production scheduling, and implementation of tools for production monitoring and control, as well as management tools such as the 5 Whys and Action Plan. With this set of solutions, what stands out above all is the 49% increase in productivity in the assembly sector, improved information flow, reduced downtime in various sectors, and greater efficiency in solving PCP problems.
