Planejamento e controle da produção: um estudo de caso no moinho Jaeschke de Cerro Largo-RS

Abstract

The study has as objective to analyze the Production Planning and Control (PPC) based on an empirical and theoretical relation of the processing of wheat at Jaeschke mill, located in Cerro Largo, RS. It was developed an applied study, qualitative, exploratory, bibliographic/ documental and a case report along with Jaeschke mill. The diagnosis allowed to verify the organization structure and the productive process flow of the products made in Jaeschke mill, such as: commercial flour, bakery flour, wheat bran and corn meal. The results allowed to describe the positive and negative aspects of the productive process, which denotes a flaw on the packaging process, that is because on 3 (three) of the 4 (four) manufactured products, the packaging is totally manual, while the rest of the process is completely automated. The research also allowed the analysis of the production planning control, which the main malfunction found was the lack of a formal tool, or a system to accomplish the production planning and control. Due to the results, were suggested alternatives to improve and/or maintenance the structure and productive process flow. The improvement suggestions were adopted to formal organization chart, master production schedule, increase storage bins of the final product and the automated packaging process. By the other side, the maintenance suggestions were keep the turnover inside the operational area of the company and the mechanized production process, which is quite technological. It can be concluded, on the matters of structure and current processing flow of wheat, that Jaeschke mill owns an adequate structure to production of its products. The current processing flow of wheat is adequate, due to its mechanized process, only the packaging of final products has not mechanized process. Related to the main problems that affect the production planning and control of wheat milling, was noted that Jaeschke mill does not have any planning system of production. Regarding of the alternative suggestions to improve and/or maintenance the structure and productive process flow of Jaeschke mill, it follows that if the improvement suggestions, such as, adoption of the organization chart, master production schedule, increase storage bins of commercial flour and the automated packaging process of corn meal, bakery flour and wheat bran, be accepted, the company production process will become faster and demand less manual manpower.
