O sistema MRP em uma indústria de máquinas e equipamentos

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the MRP system can help an industry of machines and equipment, from the problems identified in its productive management. The research is characterized as descriptive, with a qualitative approach. Data collection was performed through a semi-structured interview script and non-participant observation. In relation to the results it was obtained that the industry has some limitations, mainly related to the difficulty of controlling and managing the stock of raw material. In addition, the main products of the industry were identified, and from that moment their analytical structures, for the calculation of material requirements. Suppliers were identified, the time to replenish the supplies and the productive capacity of the industry, for the production of the main ones. Finally, a Material Requirements Planning model of the main products was elaborated with the purpose of demonstrating how the material requirements calculation is performed, as a way of suggesting to the industry the implantation of MRP system. In view of the above, the importance of the MRP system is understood, since, in addition to calculating the production needs, it helps in controlling the stock of raw material, reducing the costs and the stops in the production line.
