Track: Operations Management

Abstract

Business benefits can be generated from analyzing large amounts of information in real time, reflecting on an efficient way of managing processes. Although not is a reality for most companies, the concepts of Industry 4.0 are already being characterized as a trend for the future. In this way, the purpose of this study was to optimize the delivery time of cylinders for rotogravure print shop process, through the technologies of Industry 4.0. The study was focused on the impacts and the benefits that Industry 4.0 can add to the process. As a method, an observational study was carried out to identify the process reality. After, was developed an adaptation proposal with modeling and simulation for the cylinder management process, based on Industry 4.0 technologies. Was considered only a process in order to not generate complex simulations. The proposed model optimizes resources, bringing satisfactory and immediate results, as well as providing the implantation of this new technology in a gradual way, for the other process steps.
