摘要

In the current industry scenario, traditional production analysis, focused on isolated operations, no longer meets market demands. Previously, the production process was viewed as a simple sum of operations, where improving one would automatically benefit the entire process. However, increasing internal competition now requires more efficient approaches for better decision-making, aimed at optimizing production processes and reducing factory costs. A common challenge is the lack of complete product traceability and the integration of production flows. Operators and managers often lack precise information on the product’s stage or location, leading to inefficiencies. To address this, modern solutions like manufacturing execution system (MES) and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) are essential. This study, conducted in a large metal-mechanical company, targets a 12% productivity increase and a 10% reduction in non-quality annually. The implementation of MES and OEE aims to enhance synchronization, reduce downtime, optimize resource use, and improve traceability. The project involved identifying bottlenecks, setting key performance indicators, and comprehensive training. As a result, productivity increased by 8% in the last semester. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the implementation of Industry 4.0 technology, combined with the use of OEE as a performance indicator, can result in a projected productivity increase of more than 12%. This improvement adds measurable value, making the results actionable for industry stakeholders.
