Aplicação de modelagem matemática no planejamento e controle de produção: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The present work sought through the application of mathematical modeling in Production Planning and Control, more specifically in the Production Programming area of a company in the field of animal feeding and supplementation, to simplify the operational processes related to the Cross Contamination Matrix, to verify the restrictions productive processes, to increase the level automation through modeling, optimize operations within the production line and shorten setup times. Therefore, companies with their processes well established and planned, are in advantageous situation in relation to anothers in the market, because institutions with this profile tend to demonstrate a high level of yield and quality of delivery they services. Brazil is one of the greatests potentials in the world when we talk about agricultural and livestock segment, classified as one of the biggest producers in almost all sectors. That way, the products focused on animal feeding and supplementation are extremely relevant for the areas to remain profitable. Like this, the sector of Planning and Production Control has the important task in this case, having a high degree of workload, due to the big level of competitiveness in the growing up national market. Consequently, for the sector to accomplish with their functions, through a quantitative approach to the problem, a mathematical model was applied on top of the production data. Noted that the application grow up the level of process automation and perfect the operations carried out in the company.
