Modelação do sequenciamento de preparação e expedição de cargas num armazém como um problema de otimização

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia e Gestão IndustrialA presente dissertação foi desenvolvida no âmbito de um projeto realizado na empresa Bosch Car Multimédia S.A., na zona do armazém de expedição de produto acabado. Os objetivos do projeto de investigação foram o estudo e a elaboração de propostas de melhoria para o escalonamento da expedição de cargas. Através de observação direta verificou-se que a maioria das cargas expedidas estavam concentradas em oito das dezassete horas disponíveis para as efetuar. A falta de nivelamento ao nível da expedição de cargas é uma situação problemática para todo o armazém de expedição. Os processos de preparação e expedição de cargas são comprometidos devido ao escalonamento de cargas pouco eficiente. Realizou-se um estudo de toda a área pertencente ao armazém de expedição, com enfoque nos processos de preparação e expedição de cargas. O estudo destes processos permitiu chegar a resultados que integram propostas com potencial de aplicação prática para melhoria dos processos de preparação e expedição de cargas. A elaboração das propostas de melhoria baseou-se na análise dos padrões de carga de cada cliente, na análise da capacidade de carga de camiões e na capacidade de preparação de cargas, considerando os recursos humanos disponíveis e a capacidade das máquinas existentes. Desta investigação resultaram três propostas: um novo mapa de recolha de cargas, uma nova distribuição dos recursos humanos e uma aplicação informática que permite escalonar a preparação de cargas. Com as propostas de melhoria apresentadas estima-se que haja não só uma poupança monetária significativa, assim como um aumento da produtividade ao nível do processo de preparação de cargas. Elaboraram-se algumas sugestões de continuidade do trabalho, que contribuem para a otimização dos processos no armazém de expedição de produto acabado. As sugestões de trabalho futuro abrangem não só os processos de preparação de carga, mas também a expedição e o escalonamento de cargas.The present dissertation was developed as part of a project carried out at Bosch Car Multimédia S.A. in the shipping warehouse. The goals of the research project were the study and the elaboration of improvement proposals for the scheduling of the cargo shipment. Through direct observation it was found that the majority of the cargoes were concentrated in eight of the seventeen hours available to carry them out. The lack of levelling of cargo shipment is a problematic situation for the entire shipping warehouse area. The processes of cargo preparation and shipment are compromised due to the inefficient load scheduling. A study of the entire area belonging to the shipping warehouse, focusing on the processes of cargoes preparation and shipment, was carried out. The study of these processes allowed to reach results that integrate proposals with potential of practical application to improve the processes of preparation and cargo shipment. The preparation of the improvement proposals was based on the analysis of the load standards of each customer, the analysis of the trucks loading capacity and the capacity of cargo preparation, considering the human resources available and the capacity of the existing machines. This research resulted in three improvement proposals: a new mapping of cargoes, a new distribution of human resources and a computer application that schedules the cargo preparation. With the presented improvement proposals it is estimated that there is a significant monetary saving. There will also be an increase in productivity in the process of cargo preparation. Some suggestions were made for continuity of work, which would contribute to the optimization of the processes in the shipping warehouse. The suggestions for future work cover not only the processes of cargo preparation, but also the shipping and scheduling of cargoes

Analysis and diagnosis of a hand tools production system

All rights reserved. Engineers must have a set of professional competences, which includes sound technical knowledge and the ability to solve engineering problems, integrated with a set of transversal competences, which must mobilized for managing projects, working in teams and communicate with the others effectively. The development of these sets of competences can be supported by projects in interaction with companies. This article reports the work developed by a group of students on the Integrated Project of the 4 th year of Industrial Engineering and Management of the University of Minho. The main objective of this work is to describe the type of project that a group of students can develop in interaction with an industrial company, and reflect about the main results that this project have for the development of their competences and for the company. This is a descriptive paper based upon on reports and the experience of the students. The target of the project was the diagnosis and analysis of a production system in an industrial environment. The company chosen to develop this project is a multinational and pioneer company on the manufacturing of hand tools. The content of this article will mainly cover the internal supplier of materials (Mizusumashi), namely the standardization of the Mizusumashi route and the improvement of the components` warehouse (materials organization and visual management). The suggested modifications can result in a 30% decrease of the time wasted in the warehouse, a 20% decrease of the time it takes the Mizusumashi to complete a full route, reaching the 45 minutes the company requested. The students were able to fulfil the project milestones and integrate the company culture in their weekly visits, during the 15 weeks of the project. Furthermore, the company showed to be very satisfied with their behaviour and performance.(undefined)info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
