Optimization of the Manufacturing Process of Cardboard Packaging with Fuzzy Logic: Case Study Company in the Industrial Polo of Manaus

Abstract

This study arose from the need to optimize the manufacturing of cardboard packaging for LCD monitors, reducing assembly complexity and the number of box folds. The main objective was to decrease the number of folds while maintaining dimensional, geometric, and mechanical strength requirements. The methodology was exploratory and descriptive, using Fuzzy logic to validate new packaging layouts. Standard packaging designs were analyzed, and new models with fewer folds were proposed, undergoing resistance and quality tests. The results indicate that Fuzzy logic is effective in decision-making for production process optimization, reducing labor costs and increasing operational efficiency.
