A IMPLANTAÇÃO DA FERRAMENTA MANUFACTURING RESOURCES PLANNING: impactos no desenvolvimento interno de uma empresa siderúrgica

Abstract

This paper analyzes the difficulties caused by the implantation of the MRP II (Manufacturing Resources Planning) system in a steel company, in which failures in this process have positive and negative impacts. In this context, the implantation in the company was justified by the concern to create competitive advantages in the market in which the advance of the technology and the competition are increasing, because, it becomes increasingly essential to have fast and precise answers to meet the deadlines required by customers. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the positive and negative impacts generated from the implementation of MRP II. This article is based on a bibliographical review and later on the construction of a case study, carried out through the data collection, where the obstacles faced by the company were evidenced. The research demonstrated some problems that were detected, among them the culture of the company; employee resistance; high execution cost; difficulty in parameterizing the system; lack of agility in the process and underutilization of the system. However, the system also provided advantages such as improved product control accuracy, lead time reduction, inventory control, quality and agility in delivery.
