Abstract(s)
Este trabalho de projeto tem como objetivo a análise de um processo produtivo, através da
implementação de técnicas de simulação. O estudo tem como base o fabrico de garrafas de vidro,
um processo que é caraterizado por ser contínuo, sendo esta caraterização ostentada pelas várias
linhas de produção existentes, pela elevada utilização de recursos, e pela inclusão de diversos
processos de inspeção e controlo de qualidade, sendo, estes, muito rigorosos. Para a representação
do sistema, foi desenvolvido um modelo de simulação, utilizando o software Arena, reconhecido pela
capacidade de simular processos complexos em contextos industriais.
O modelo vai representar algumas etapas do processo produtivo, nomeadamente o fabrico de
garrafas na linha de produção, os processos de inspeção e controlo de qualidade, e a embalagem,
como última etapa. Por via da simulação, foi possível analisar o comportamento do sistema, avaliar
o desempenho dos recursos e desenvolver cenários em situações hipotéticas, mas passíveis de
acontecerem em contexto real da operação.
A aplicação do software Arena permitiu analisar todo o processo produtivo, e permitiu efetuar
alterações, sem interferir com a produção real, tornando-se, desta forma, uma ferramenta valiosa
para a tomada de decisões estratégicas. Este método demonstra como a simulação pode apoiar
estas decisões, com um maior controlo e perspetivas de melhoria contínua.
Concluiu-se, então, que a integração de processos produtivos com técnicas de simulação, constitui
um instrumento fundamental para a otimização e aperfeiçoamento de processos produtivos,
proporcionando uma abordagem que não interfere com o contexto real e que não tem implicação de
custos associados a eventuais alterações necessárias de efetivar, tornando-se, portanto, segura e
eficaz.
This project aims to analyze a production process through the implementation of simulation techniques. The study focuses on the manufacturing of glass bottles, a process characterized by its continuous nature, supported by multiple production lines, high resource utilization, and the inclusion of various inspection and quality control procedures, which are highly rigorous. To represent the system, a simulation model was developed using Arena software, known for its ability to simulate complex processes in industrial contexts. The model represents selected stages of the production process, namely the manufacturing of bottles into the production line, inspection and quality control procedures, and, finally, the packaging stage as the last step. Through simulation, it was possible to analyze system behavior, evaluate resource performance, and develop scenarios based on hypothetical, yet plausible, situations that could occur in real operational contexts. The application of Arena software allowed for a comprehensive analysis of the entire production process and enabled the implementation of changes without interfering with actual operations, thus becoming a valuable tool for strategic decision-making. This method demonstrates how simulation can support decision-making by offering greater control and continuous improvement perspectives. It is therefore concluded that the integration of production processes with simulation techniques constitutes a fundamental tool for the optimization and enhancement of production systems, providing an approach that does not interfere with real-world operations and involves no costs associated with potential changes, making it a safe and effective solution.
