Implantação de Sistema de PCP – Programação e Controle da Produção

Abstract

The study focuses on the implementation of Production Planning and Control (PCP) in a small plastic packaging company, aiming to improve productivity and final product quality. Issues such as excessive machine downtime, high scrap rates, and inefficient planning were identified. The methodology included documentary research and direct observation, leading to a 12.5% reduction in downtime, 100% order fulfillment, and a 22.7% decrease in scrap. The conclusion highlights PCP as crucial for the competitiveness of small businesses, despite financial constraints.
