Abstract

This paper describes the development of a Production Planning and Control (PPC) method implemented in a company that produces shower screens, to respond to problems associated with overproduction. In this system, the daily workload is directly influenced by the productivity presented in the bottleneck. The bottleneck was identified, a database was built to support the calculation of the bottleneck’ productivity and the determination of the workload for each day. It is foreseeable that the system will bring considerable improvements in the productivity values. The data collected before and after the implementation of PPC system allowed identifying an increasing trend in the productivity values of the bottleneck resulting from the implementation.
