Elaboração de leiautes industriais: metodologias utilizadas e seus ganhos

Abstract

Before the execution of an industrial activity, it is necessary to plan the physical layout in which the process will take place, the layout ought to be adequate to the type of process that will be carried out and should principally provide fluidity to the flow of materials and offer employees good work conditions. The procedure of fabrication will only happen efficiently when the industrial plant is elaborated correctly, therefore it is very important that the physical arrangement is well thought since its conception, avoiding reworks of positioning machines, unnecessary movements that will raise the production costs and ergonomic issues. This monography proposes a study of methodology regarding the industrial layout elaboration, initially researching and identifying it in academic literature and afterwards collect information about the effectively employed technique with the industries and industrial consultancy companies, to finally compare this with the literature and propose an updated reference, including the methodology used in industry context, to serve as support to the academic subjects of the Mechanical and Production Engineering Graduation Courses, as well as to be a reference to companies that seek ways of elaborating their physical space.
