Análise da movimentação de materiais em uma montadora de veículos pesados

Abstract

Stage of constant innovation, the automobile industry has always sought to improve the production process and, through this search, the focus is no longer just the production of the vehicle itself, and spread to all the processes involved, working on chain of creation and management Supplies needed for their production, as well as all activities of logistics management inherent in it. This paper presents an analysis of how it is structured the supply chain of a maker of heavy vehicles. The focus of the work was divided into two fronts, External Logistics or Supply Logistics, and Internal Logistics, or Production Logistics. For the study of External Logistics, proceeded to the identification and analysis of its suppliers, as the location, the import process, design of its processes, its variables and impact the production process. As for the study of the Internal Logistics, focused study in the processes applied to the receipt, storage and supply of the production line and its variables and tools, identifying and analyzing the applicability of methodologies such as Just In Time, Just In Sequence, Kanban, Rule Minimum and maximum and supply routes. After the identification and analysis of these processes and tools made it possible for a macroscopic view of the entire chain, if delimiting strengths and weaknesses as well as suggestions for improvement opportunities.
