Processo produtivo de uma unidade de beneficiamento de grãos no município de São Paulo das Missões/RS

Abstract

Cereal production in Brazil and in the world is very important for the economy, records of planted area and production are constantly being broken, this makes the production process of this type of culture very important. Thereby, this work has as its theme the study of the productive process of a grain processor in the municipality of São Paulo das Missões. It seeks to analyze how the management of the production process can influence the processing of grains, this through a mapping of the process and analysis of the physical arrangement of the unit. The theoretical basis of the study is structured from the references that deal with the history and main concepts of production management; process analysis; the study of the physical arrangement and the main types; and finally, the production process of a grain processor. This study is characterized as a case study, with a qualitative approach. Regarding the techniques used to obtain data, observations were made at the unit, along with a documentary research, in which one can have knowledge of all types of machines used for the production process, also, created a flowchart of the process that the grains pass in the unit. The study of the entire process and machines resulted in suggestions for the implementation of equipment, which are able to improve the flow, avoid excessive delays and possible sampling errors that may generate future problems.
