Management Allied to Industry: Development of Metallic Packaging "Rack" Applied to the Automotive Sector

Abstract

This work aimed to design industrial packaging, type "metallic racks" for automotive components and assemblies, which contribute to the effective reduction of storage and transportation costs, potentiating the reduction of times and movements in environmental processes and liabilities. As an application, bibliographic, exploratory and product development research was used, which consisted of diagnosing the problematic situation for the development of the "Rack": standardized packaging / occupancy rate, handling / times and movements, Lean Manufacturing, ergonomic aspects, environmental processes and analysis of the material / construction process. As a result, it was found that the use of the Metallic “Rack” impacted in the company's money savings impacted an express economy for the company, with a reduction of 82% in the storage area, 89% in the times and movements involved in the packaging activity, among others. As an academic and scientific contribution, this work helps to expand studies in the most diverse aspects that affect the production process, logistics, racking design, ergonomic analysis and a product value chain.
