Abstract

As a form of organizational improvement, the study of layout arises to improve productive processes in an organization, providing space savings, reduction of unnecessary movement, reduction of costs through productive efficiency and rationalizations of resources besides significant gains in product quality. In this context, the purpose of this article is to show how the layout of an organization directly influences the efficiency of production, present a proposal to restructure the layout in a productive process of a small metallurgical industry and compare the current layout with the proposed layout. The work will be developed through bibliographic review and specialized sites besides a case study in a southern mining metallurgical company. The analysis demonstrated that using the improved layout the company will achieve significant gains in productive efficiency.
