APLICAÇÃO DO MÉTODO DE ANÁLISE E SOLUÇÃO DE PROBLEMAS: um estudo de caso em uma linha de envase de doce de leite em sachê

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the concepts and fundamentals of the Production Effort Unit (PEU) method and demonstrate the benefits provided with its results verified from the case studied, ie, a company of metal mechanical sector. From the bibliographic review it was possible to highlight the characteristics of this method to determine production costs based on a common indicator to unify the cost. Thus, it was possible to know production processes and production management. The method excels in companies with high variability of products, as in the company under study in this work. We realized that it is possible to identify production bottlenecks, production capacities and time controls. It is possible to increase the competitiveness of the company with more realistic production costs, reducing the costs of the final product.
