Análise da logística de produção de uma indústria de pré-moldados de concreto

Abstract

Civil construction shows great development potential under the light of Information Technology applied to logistics, improving the level of communication between departments in a company and consequently the quality of information and services. The activities´ scripting and rationalization, through the use of an economic model that enables this type of habit, contribute to operational and executive planning. Concerning precast concrete, this communication between construction and production departments is imperative for meeting the deadlines described on assembling and manufacturing schedules. The analysis of the schedules´ relation, emphasizing the coherence between the info can be very useful from the point of view of fulfilling the activities. This analysis can improve the data organization required throughout the process, and it also can reduce unexpected events and mistakes during the manufacturing steps. A precast concrete company has been studied (Mold Structures, mentioned as Company X) and a specific building site (Building site A) executed by the former, which has made easier the real life comprehension about the content that will be approached on this study´s topics. This case study contributes to justifying the methodology, allowing the extraction of substantial info. Throughout the research, the importance of communication can be noticed in all degrees: operational, executive and strategic in the company. At the end of this project it is presented a mapflowchart that enables visualizing all processes involved in the production of precast concrete. This document is able to help future improvement when it comes to logistics and info compatibility.
