Utilização de algoritmos para controle de processos

Abstract

In an increasingly competitive world, companies need to be always looking for techniques and new concepts to enhance their processes. The Lean Manufacturing philosophy is a response to those needs it consists in the pursuit of continuous improvement through different procedures, including the elimination of waste. In this context, this essay contemplates the development of a rail loading analysis tool with the purpose of improving the process that is carried out in a railway company, aiming the reduction of the time spent in data processing and elimination of rework. The model is developed in Visual Basic Applications language, known as VBA. The system was applied in a real situation that corresponds to the system of grain transport constituted by Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica, Estrada de Ferro Vitória-Minas and by the port of Tubarões. The results show that the use of algorithms for process control is very efficient, since it increases the reliability of the data and facilitates the daily life of the collaborators.
