Modelo matemático de simulação para tomada de decisão em processo produtivo de aço

Abstract

Brazilian companies are internationalizing and strongly protecting the domestic market to ensure their survival. Due to the high competitiveness and economic instability the organizations need to adapt quickly to the new market conditions and for this it becomes necessary the development of information technology for direct aid in the decision making directed to the constant increase of the productivity in the operations, especially in the factories whose resources (Equipment and People) must be very well balanced way to avoid waste and unnecessary costs. This project presents a mathematical and statistical simulation model applied to a case study at the steel factory that cut and folded steel in Bahia to assist in the management decision making in order to define actions that aim to contribute in the adequate resource balancing for direct increase of productivity and cost reduction, ensuring the operational efficiency and the competitiveness of the unit.
