System for analysis, simulation and implementation of improvements in the air conditioning manufacturing process

This work contains proposals for improvements in an assembly line of air conditioners in a factory located in the Industrial Pole of Manaus, in which the entire production process is described, as well as the presentation of its current plant. Factors that hinder the production process of the line were evaluated in order to promote improvements in the production capacity added to quality, efficiency and reduction of waste. To achieve the improvements, documentary records of the line made available by the company were used. In addition, simulation tools (Plant Simulation) were used to search for possible bottlenecks in order to correct them, as well as plan for future improvement points. In this, problems of quality, ergonomics, low quality, among other obstacles were identified. The project enabled solutions to improve processes that, consequently, will increase quality, efficiency and productivity. The advantage of the new layout is to obtain a new sustainable competitive advantage for the company. The model enables better training of employees in the use of automated tools. This is beneficial as employees will have access to product and process technologies that were previously restricted.
