Estudo da contribuição de itens de embalagens na flexibilidade da estrutura de produto

Abstract

The objective of this work is to examine how can develop a methodological procedure for changing the structure of items to pack in a Manufacturing Enterprise Electronics Sector for improving the local reality systems already in use. For this it is necessary to characterize the Management of Product Data - PDM (Product Data Management), using the "Factory", to identify the views of employees in the sectors of engineering, procurement and materials on the use and operation of the PDM and to demonstrate opportunity and feasibility of modifying the structure of packaging items in the "Factory", aimed at improvements in the production process with emphasis on integrating design and manufacturing process. As regards methodology, it is a case study and documentary research was performed in the "Factory", Unit Manaus. The subjects were 20 (twenty) employees who work in the departments of engineering, procurement and materials. The criterion for inclusion in the study was the use of PDM. This paper presents a methodological procedure for the approval cycle for modification of structure in items of packaging more effective. Among the survey results may be noted that with the implementation of this methodological procedure and with the permission of access for creating documentation structure change ECN / IN the PDM system, the engineering team of product can only relate to plant Manaus to perform the modification, thus reducing the cycle of requests approval. In addition, the engineering team of local produce, modify and / or adjust the product structure to meet local regulations (PPB / ZFM), or even take an idea from the suggestion program of continuous improvement, seeking to increase in the efficiency of processes in the "Factory" as well as meeting the needs of clients (operators) to make better use of the product supplied, in this case, the items packing cell phone.
