Manufacturing cell applied to composite materials Assembly into bus manufacturing company

Abstract

This paper proposes the implementation of a cellular layout in a sector of finishing and assembly of composite components in bus manufacturing company, in order to raise the utilization with reduction of operating losses and better use of the physical space. For achievement of the proposed work, designed a pilot manufacturing cell based on the formation of the family of parts with similar processes, with the production flow analysis and monitoring in the use of resources used to meet the demands of the play. From the study of the information collected was unable to check the balance of tasks through the precedence diagram and use incremental method. In this sense the expectations were met to the proposal implemented in relation to the previous arrangement, with emphasis on reduction of losses due to handling and idleness, consequently high productive times.
