Proposta de implementação do Material Requirement Planning (MRP) em uma indústria de embutidos

Abstract

Faced with the need for organizations to improve the management of demand, materials and production capacity, an effective Production Planning and Control (PPC) can contribute to achieving the organization's goals.It helps to reduce lead times, costs of inventory and production, meeting deadlines and quick response to changes in demand. Among the PCP tools, Material Requirement Planning (MRP) stands out, responsible for defining all the needs of parts and components of a specific final product. In this context, the objective of the present work is to propose the implementation of Material Requirement Planning (MRP) in a sausage industry. As for the methodological procedure, the case study was developed in six stages, namely: product choice; demand identification; survey of the list of materials and construction of the structure (tree) of the product; survey of input parameters; calculation of material requirements; issuance of purchase and production orders. The results showed that with the application of the MRP system, the PPC sector can make better predictions about its production schedule, materials and supplies.
