Abstract
Nowadays, simulation models that can provide accurate approximation of real plants are helping the industry to identify bottlenecks, operator allocation distribution improvement and increase efficiency as a whole. The present paper shows a case-study of the processes analysis that compose a real manufacturing production plant in Minas Gerais and aims to develop a simulation model using the Software ProModel running several tests in order to point processes errors or unproductive tasks. In this work, it was plotted the total throughput rate over replications to obtain a trustable result and it was able to identify bottlenecks, indicate the need of hiring new operators or training deficient skills, revealed resources overuse detailing the utilization, factory organization and sustainable technologies substitution were indicated resulting on a maximized factory productivity.
