SISTEMA DA INFORMAÇÃO PARA O PLANEJAMENTO E CONTROLE DA PRODUÇÃO: estudo de caso aplicado em uma indústria do ramo moveleiro

Abstract

This work analyzed the implantation of an information system for the planning and control of the production within a company of the furniture industry. Such an approach is due to the need for organizations to improve their inventory controls and production processes, making them leaner and avoiding waste. This task was achieved through a case study in a medium-sized furniture company, dedicated to the production of components for chairs installed in the south of Minas Gerais. The study showed that the use of computerized systems, especially the use of the MRP (Manufacturing Resources Planning) tool, produced relevant results for the adequate control of the production and of each productive stage in the evaluated company, as well as facilitated the management of raw material stock and input, and the stock of finished products. The correct use of this tool helped the company, where the study was carried out, to begin the fight against the main complaints of its clients, and comes in line with that proposed in the quality policies.
